The story is sweet and captures the innocence of that bygone era around WWI but it sometimes seems almost simplistic in its characters' depiction of a very brutal and devastating period in history when life changed irrevocably.I would have liked more development of the characters themselves; the potential is there: Rosie, the main character who grapples with the loss of the love of her life and her religious beliefs; a sister who is obviously involv
