Romance Literature Discussion group, Friday April 17, 2009
-----
The next meeting of the romance Literature club will be held on April 17, 2009. We will be discussing Sentimental Journey a novel of the life of a young woman's experiences on the home front during World War II. What impactdoes war have on those left behind? When the war is over, how do young women return to life as it was before? Is it possible to find new challenges? How does a woman deal with the losses war inevitably brings?
Below is a short summary of Sentimental Journey. Join us for a discussion of the impact of war on life and love. Sentimental Journey can be found on bookshare.org.
THE YEAR IS 1943
Like so many American women during WWII, Catherine Wilson was waiting for her fiancé's return from the Pacific and dreaming of married life. Then her father
enlists, too, and it's left to Catherine to manage his factory - devoting every waking hour to the hardest work of her life.
When Catherine first meets Johnny Danza at the Stage Door Canteen, he's just another GI heading overseas. But when her fiancéis killed, Johnny's V-Mail
becomes a lifeline, and soon their letters blossom into more than friendship. But it's only when a wounded Johnny arrives unexpectedly at Catherine's door,
that true healing.and true love.can begin.
Join us for a discussion of a time and experience many of us can only sharethrough the words of author Barbara Bretton.
