“…he sees a world rebuilding itself higher and mightier every day - to prove what?…Every skyscraper a desire to forget and look to the future. All built on scars.” (224)
No, no, no, no, nooooo. As I charged through this novel, at one point I stopped. What if the ending is not what I want it to be? What if Jennie Fields adds throws in the twist that is picking at my brain? NOOOO!
The Manhattan Project. FBI. Spies. Communists. Russians. Secrets. Romance. Sex. Happily-Ever-After? Can this end well for all the characters? How do they reconcile their past and make the future meaningful and joyous?
The historical threads are there. Our paranoia as a nation. Our worst fears realized. We can overcome anything. Make a brighter future. Find lasting love.
