Very much the Golden Girls we we all know and love. However, it was very difficult to get through this one. It would have made a good episode for the show but not a book.

The book had an interesting storyline told from two peoples point of View. Part of the story takes place in 1953 and part of the story takes place during WWII. A woman in 1953 is working in a thrift shop in England when she comes across a necklace that she thinks she recognizes s from her time as a volunteer for The International Red Cross delivery care packages to POW camps. The second Point of view is from a Jewish woman who lives in Paris during WWII The story s eventually intertwines and there is a bit of a surprise ending. I liked the book and I recommend it

Really enjoyed this one! Lots of adventure.
