Product Information

MBC 스페셜' 한국전쟁 고아소녀 아일라(김은자), 60년 만에 만난 터키 아버지와 눈물의 포옹[MBC Special: Korean War orphan Ayla (Kim Eun-ja) meets with Turkish father after sixty years in tear-filled scene]. Florence mezina familiei si cea mai idealista și sensibilă dintre surori așteaptă cu nerăbdare eliberarea Franței si o viață mai bună pentru ea și familia sa. At times I felt the story was overly long in places and I found that in the beginning and perhaps for a good quarter of the book that it was slow going with not much happening. Daarom een gemiddelde van drie sterretjes *** (vier sterren voor de inhoud en twee sterretjes voor de schrijfstijl, de manier waarop het verhaal verteld wordt).

I felt Helene was in a constant state of worry and anxiety and definitely not as free spirited as Florence or as strong willed as Elise. Florence, the youngest sister, is a kind-hearted innocent, who is always happiest when she’s digging and planting in the garden, tending to her animals or spending time cooking in the kitchen. As well as being a story of war and family, secrets from the past are brought to life and there is more than one romance takes place over the course of the story.It is 1944, and the Baudin sisters have lost their father, Charles, and their mother, Claudette, has left for England. Their farmhouse was a haven and a refuge for each of them but all three women are very different from each other and their distinct voices firmly established themselves the more the book progressed.

The Daughters of War (3 book series) Kindle edition

Daughters Of War is the first book in a family drama set in the later years of WW2 and it follows the lives of three sisters, Helene, Elisa and Florence living in a small village in France. All three of the sisters become involved in the fight to free France, they all face hardship, danger, loss and the challenges of living in an occupied country. Dinah Jefferies woont momenteel terug in Groot-Brittannië, maar ze werd geboren in Maleisië en woonde daar tot ze acht werd.Told in alternating chapters from the point of view of Hélène, Élise and Florence, the author carefully delineates the three sisters’ personalities. She is fragile and sensitive and much preferred tending the garden growing food for the house and she puts her heart and soul into this. Like everyone in France, they resent the Germans presence, and can’t wait for the allies to arrive and the war to end. Dinah Jefferies has done it again, the book is well written and I'm so excited that it’s part of a series, and I can’t wait until the next book is published and discover what else happens to Helene, Elise and Florence and especially after France has been liberated by the American's. They are stuck in France and so can’t go to England but they are stuck in a strange situation as being only half French, they feel they are going to have extra problems living in France during war time.
