Until June
[d-prw12663]

5 of 5 Stars UNTIL JUNE is such an amazing book! It takes place in Alaska, one of my favorite destinations. The leading male is an amputee veteran. It touches on a pandemic, which is what we are living thru now. And it also touches on PTSD, before there was a name for it. What I wasn’t sure about would be the historical factor, 1918-1919. It’s been awhile since I’ve read historical and wasn’t sure how I’d take to it, but this story just flowed. I read it in one sitting. If you pull pivotal parts from the book, you would believe it to be sad, heartbreaking, difficult to read, but it wasn’t at all. There were many times that I found myself smiling or laughing out loud!
The struggles that Josephine and Geoff faced and then the banter that ensued made for such an enjoyable read. So refreshing to read of a budding, building relationship that is clean reading! Such wonderful characters and personalities! Beautiful visuals painted by the author of the lodge, the landscape and the attire worn during that era. I also enjoyed Josephine’s excitement of arriving magazines and personal mail.
I’ll even admit that it caused me to ask Siri of a couple of questions regarding things mentioned in the book, only to learn that those things I researched were really over 100 years old! I didn’t only enjoy my reading time, but I learned a few things too! Author Barbara M. Britton never disappoints in her story telling or her research!

PS: the items I asked Siri about:
Kodak (camera), the Spanish flu, Armistice

The first time I asked Siri "when was the first Armistice Day? the answer was November 11, 1921. The next time I asked it said November 11, 1919. I think I'll go look in that dusty set of encyclopedias on the shelf in my bedroom! LOL
