With lovely war6/12/2023 ![]() I have followed Julie Berry's career for ten years, and I don't think she can possibly top this book. It is everything I could possibly want out of historical fiction, and the dual love stories are phenomenal beyond imagination. Messages are positive about what's worth fighting for and how precious and short life is. Strong language is very rare but includes some racial slurs like "coon" and "negras," and there's one "s-t" and one "bastard." All four main characters are great role models for doing their part, even when it's hard, and they show compassion, empathy, and integrity. Soldiers in trenches talk about how to exhale tobacco smoke without giving away their numbers or position. Lots of accurate historical information and extensive notes at the end add more detail and explain which people and events are real. Wartime violence, including some atrocities, are described mentioning blood, injuries, and pain but without being gory. Sexual content focuses on romantic feelings and a few brief kisses, but a Greek myth about an adulterous affair provides the framework. ![]() Parents need to know that Julie Berry's Lovely War is a romance about two young couples during World War I. ![]()
