News of Our Loved Ones A Novel Abigail DeWitt Books

This book was so enchanting I can hardly wait to read it again. It is extremely well written with poetic language and well drawn characters. The long standing effects of the D-Day bombings among the citizenry is a theme that has never been covered in any other novel I have read. This novel deserves a second read as the characters wind in and out of the story line and all is not clear until well into the novel. A second read will be like visiting a place one has known and loved that will be both familiar and new.

News of Our Loved Ones A Novel Abigail DeWitt Books Reviews

I thought I knew what this book was about but it was different. Not bad, a very good book but unexpected!
Based on actual facts that occurred in the family of the author, this was definitely a good read and well worth the time.
Possibly my expectations were too high as this is my favorite genre but I had a hard time connecting to anyone. Maybe it was just me.
In 'News of Our Loved Ones,' Abigail DeWitt has transformed what must be the central story of her family for generations into stunning artistry. The details of daily life; the fear, starvation, and exhaustion; and the depth of characterization are so beautifully done. I love devoting the chapters to different characters, interweaving the tapestry of their lives, often to great surprise. The writing throughout is sheer poetry, just the right touch. I'm so happy to have discovered DeWitt and her powerful work. Brava!
Delightfully captivating. An important and emotional connection to the event of D-Day, from the daily lives of The French under Nazi Occupation.

Personally, this was important to me my father-in-law was a Lt. Colonel paratrooper, wnd we only learned of the French civilian casualties when we were in Normandy for a D-Day anniversary. Our host’s father and grandfather were buried in the rubble of their shelled home for three days. They not only bore no hostility to we Americans, but truly held the Americans to be their liberators.
I absolutely love this book! From the first chapter the reader will be drawn into the the linked stories of survivors of the Allies' D-Day invasion. The writing is exquisite. I loved the use of the descriptive words and settings letting us into the minds of women of various ages. This is a phenomenal piece of work.
Abigail DeWitt’s novel is a tapestry of stories told from various points of view woven into the fabric of a whole family/community story revolving around D Day, June 6, 1944. This story should be nothing but sad; however, in the telling, it is balanced by moments of such brightness that the reader must finally feel the resilience and triumph of the human spirit.
