Come from Away by Genevieve Graham #Review

*I received a ARC of this book for my honest review*

In the fall of 1939, Grace Baker’s three brothers, sharp and proud in their uniforms, board Canadian ships headed for a faraway war. Grace stays behind, tending to the homefront and the general store that helps keep her small Nova Scotian community running. The war, everyone says, will be over before it starts. But three years later, the fighting rages on and rumours swirl about “wolf packs” of German U-Boats lurking in the deep waters along the shores of East Jeddore, a stone’s throw from Grace’s window. As the harsh realities of war come closer to home, Grace buries herself in her work at the store.

Then, one day, a handsome stranger ventures into the store. He claims to be a trapper come from away, and as Grace gets to know him, she becomes enamoured by his gentle smile and thoughtful ways. But after a several weeks, she discovers that Rudi, her mysterious visitor, is not the lonely outsider he appears to be, but someone else entirely—someone not to be trusted. When a shocking truth about her family forces Grace to question everything she has so strongly believed, she realizes that she and Rudi have more in common than she had thought. And if Grace is to have a chance at love, she must not only choose a side, but take a stand.

MY THOUGHTS

I don't often read and review historical fiction books on here because I am very picky when it comes to the genre but I do love Genevieve Graham's historical fiction books.


Come from Away is a WWII Canadian historical fiction that got me hooked from the very beginning. The story is so well written that I didn't want to put the book down. 

If you are looking for a good Canadian historical fiction I do very much recommend this book. 

I give this 5 out of 5.
