When the World Was Young: A Novel by Elizabeth Gaffney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this book, loved the characters, didn’t want it to end.
Wally is nine on VJ Day at the end of World War II. She is the daughter of Stella, who is a doctor and granddaughter of Gigi who is also a doctor. Her dad is serving in the Navy overseas.
The story wends it’s way through Wally’s life from the time she is nine until she gives birth to her own daughter.
This is a richly woven story and I highly recommend it!
