Representaion Toward Books The Foreign Field (Morland Dynasty #31)
It’s 1917 and the Allies are determined to finally defeat a weakened Germany—everything is building up to the summer’s Big Push. Germany strikes back with U-boat attacks to starve England out, giant airplanes to bomb London, and the cunning withdrawal to the Hindenberg Line. Every Briton must do his bit, and the Morlands are involved at every stage: fighting and nursing in France, stoically surviving at home, and finding love where they can along the way. Continuing the great saga of the Morland dynasty, The Foreign Field carries its members into a new set of conflicts and tests their courage to the limit.Rating Of Books The Foreign Field (Morland Dynasty #31)

Finished this last night. In some ways I think she is running out of steam on the characters' story, but the history is better than ever. OTOH, I am now dying to find out what happens to Bertie and Jessie, so I am looking out for #32....
Very sad book really depicts the effect war has on families not just those fighting at the front - very compelling reading
Three and a half stars. Other than the details about battles, I enjoyed reading my first book by this author.
I am in a huge WWI kick right now (thanks Downton Abbey s.2) and love any book on WWI.
