"Times like these are about as unpredictable as boardinghouse stew!" says Teddy Soberjowski in the author's pervious book, Boardinghouse Stew. The year was 1943, midway through World War II, when no one knew what would happen next.
Two years later, the times are even less predictable for the young heroine of Times Like These, on her way to a new home and an uncertain future with her volatile parents.
The war rages on in the Pacific, amid heavy casualties. Harry Truman is now president and secretly considering the use of a horrific new weapon to force Japan to surrender.
What would happen next?
About the Author
Evelyn Eileen Smith resides in the San Francisco Bay area and is an award-winning playwright of more than a dozen plays. The debut novel, Boardinghouse Stew was inspired by her own real-life experiences working in a boardinghouse during World War II. Times Like These is based on more real-life adventures through the end of WW II, six years of peace, and the beginning of the Korean War.
My Take on the Book
This was another vivid portrayal of history and the author has done a great job at capturing history for all readers to experience. I say experience as I found that while you are reading this book that you are transported to the era in which the book was referring. You get a feel for the ties, the feelings, sights, sounds as well as the fear of the era in a time of war, both on the battle fields and on the home front in this particular case. You will be riveted to your seat while reading and you will not want to put this book down!
