The Excitements: A Novel par CJ Wray
Really good. It gets a little confusing at times between all the characters and shifting time periods, but everything wraps up very nicely at the end.

grandpahobo | 6 autres critiques | Apr 20, 2024 | Two old ladies plus friends and relatives have multiple adventures starting in Paris 1939 and ending in Paris 2022. Penny is delightful and plays a modern day Robin Hood. Josephine has multiple secrets. The grandnephew is sweet. The whole craziness at the end may not have been necessary.

shazjhb | 6 autres critiques | Apr 16, 2024 | This book about 2 elderly women who served in WWII was fun and interesting. Penny, now 97, was in FANY - First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, and her sister Josephine, now 99, served as a WREN - Women's Royal Naval Service. The book starts with the women being awarded the Légion d’honneur medal for their service, but then gives their back story as well. It follows their young lives, their service during the war, the loves they had, the secrets they lived and kept, and the current time in their lives. There is also a jewel heist story and a hostage situation.
It is quite an adventure.… (plus d'informations)

rmarcin | 6 autres critiques | Mar 6, 2024 | Told in multiple timelines, we follow two spirited nonagenarian sisters who are Britain's most treasured WWII veterans. With elements of comedy, mystery, and espionage, this is also a captivating blend of historical fiction with a dash of romance.
While entertaining, the plot's complexity sometimes overwhelms. But amidst the chaos, I love how their great-nephew Archie's love and devotion for them shines through. This book is full of love and laughter. It will keep you guessing what trouble these sisters will cause next!… (plus d'informations)
