It feels wonderful finally finishing this novel! Because I read it on my kindle I didn't realize that it was going to be so long. It was different from other Elizabeth Chadwick novels in that it was not about a specific incident but strictly about one man. She did not feel the need to tell the story about battles from beginning to end but just let you know how it ended sometimes. My only issue is that because the chapters were so long, though she titled each chapter about the time it would be discussing I never knew how long it was between chapters unless I looked back. Not a huge issue as the time did not go back and forth but was indeed a sort of timeline of his life.I loved the romance between him and his wife. It was as if they were destined to be together and I can only imagine that during those times it really did not matter if they truly loved each other or not. It definitely made a great story.Not sure I will read the next novel but I also don't think it necessary as there was enough of an ending for me with this one. Maybe in the future...
