PositiveThe Historical Novel SocietyIt is the poignant story of a girl born nine months after the horrific explosion ... As a mystery buff I followed this story to its conclusion, and the characters both past and present are well-drawn by a skilled writer. This is not historical fiction in the traditional sense: the chapters in the present...border on \'chick lit.\' Nevertheless, the research into the past and the illustration of fashion and other trends through the decades make the book relevant to fans of 20th-century historical mysteries.
