★★☆☆☆
Poor research, sentimental drivel
Gooey, sentimental prose that telegraphs the "romantic" denouments a mile away; completely improbable plotting; and sloppy research (there is, for example, no "West River" in New York City). I genuinely disliked this book, and quit reading somewhere in the middle in the firm conviction that life is too short to waste any of it reading sticky nonsense like this. The heroines of WWII deserve better.
