Description

Ny Times-Bestselling author Elizabeth Berg requires us to Chicago at that time of World-War II in this fantastic tale around three siblings, their vibrant Irish household, and the males they love.As the book starts, Kitty and Louise Heaney say good bye for their boyfriends Julian and Michael, who're likely to combat offshore. On the domestic front, beef is rationed, kids take part in steel devices, and Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller play tunes that provide hope and raise spirits. And today the Heaney siblings stay at their dining table every night to create letters–Louise to her fiancé, Kitty towards the guy she desires fervently might suggest, and Tish to an ever changing number of guys she meets at USO dances. In the characters the siblings deliver and receive are personal glimpses of living both to the battlefront and athome.
