Setting: Finland
Time Period: 1939

This is a short novella of 50 some pages that I downloaded on Kindle in the “European Collection.” I was attracted to it because “War Of Hearts” was set in Finland, a great addition to my reading challenge, “Around The World In 80 Books.” What I never expected? To fall in love with it so much! Anna and Pete’s short little story was so engaging and meaningful. I learned a lot about the “Sausage War” and Stalin’s invasion of Finland in this short story. And y’all, with only six chapters, it was short! But…the author packed every line with meaning, emotion and history. So wish this one could be made into a full length novel.  This was my first time to read anything by Annette Lyon, but if any of her other works are as good as this one, then she’s a great author!
