Ann Corygives us an astonishingly heartwarming story of love found in the face of a terrifying historical event. Daniel and Evelynn, as well as her maid Bess, are appealing characters, and Brandt, although abusive and mean, is also written as a three-dimensional character, not just a stereotype. I recommend this one.
