I know I keep banging on about reviews but, due to changes that Amazon have made, they are becoming rare beasties. This one perfectly captures everything I was trying to achieve when I wrote Daffodils.

\”5.0 out of 5 stars The breadth and depth of the \”war to end all wars\”

The scope and depth of this book is enthralling, as it envelopes the reader in three different aspects of \”the war to end all wars\”. Beginning with a blunt view of class arrogance, it moves on to the general home front as war creeps into all of England–a viewpoint rarely considered in war stories. Next we are confronted with the ugliness of the war from a soldier\’s perspective. But the surprising aspect is a view of women\’s roles in the same theater. There are, of course, books which have covered these areas individually, but to read of all three intertwined provides a perspective on the impact on individuals unique to this genre. And the reading is much more enjoyable and satisfying than reading a lot of academic histories on the topics! I highly recommend it.\”
