A resounding 5 stars. more like 8. Simply phenomenal storytelling.Read years and years ago. Absolutely loved it.
Brevity isnt possible here. Settle in and get comfy. Here we go.The word epic gets overused in the world of advertising, and so as a reviewer, I have learned to take the promise with a grain of salt. However, Piercy is renowned, an iconic presence for feminists and for anyone that approaches life from a class perspective. I read this book when it first came out in the 1980s for no discount whatsoever, and I loved it. Books come and go at my house, since space on the bookshelf is itself a
I posted dozens of highlights from this combination audible/kindle book. That appropriately indicates that this is a book with a good deal of excellent writing. It is a book about war with both battle scenes and the homefront. The home front is covered in London and the United States and France.I am part of the postwar baby boom so missed any participation in this era of history. I knew from the history that Jews were denied entry into the United States at a time when they were being annihilated
GNAB I received a free electronic copy of this novel from Netgalley, Marge Piercy, and Open Road Integrated Media in exchange for an honest review. This novel was first published Jan 1, 1987. Thank you for sharing your work with me.This is an incredible novel. Marge Piercy guides us through the lives of several key people, from just prior to the German infiltration of France, and into the problems and joys following VE Day, and then VJ day. I found the fact that Gone to Soldiers was 1,100 plus
This is a sprawling epic covering a loosely-linked dozen people through WWII. Piercy explores the war among immigrants and citizens in the US, refugees, soldiers, spies, and members of the underground resistance; most of the characters eventually cross paths in one way or another. The characters are vividly painted, and as far as I know, it's fairly historically accurate. It's an incredible work of women's history and contributions to the war effort, as well as a very strong novel. I've read
Gone to Soliders has recently been re-issued. If you haven't read it you must and if you have read it re-read it. It's a treasure.
