MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW
The Officer's Wife is a historical fiction novel by the author Catherine Law that takes readers through a heartbreaking story and battle between the love, loneliness, forgiveness, grief, scandal, and survival of an American heiress Vivienne Miles and Nathan a Naval Officer. Vivienne was thrilled to travel from New York to London to her own Mansion on Grosvenor Street. A new chapter in her life began as she began to establish herself at her childhood mansion on Grosvenor Street. She had come to London to see her friend, Genna, not to find her a husband, moreover, she was bored with New York. She had not expected to fall in love. But her parents and Nathan's arranged their marriage to each other so quickly all had happened.
Nathan was a fully-fledged naval officer and a lieutenant, who worked away from London at the war. Vivi was a bride, and a naval wife fighting to survive alone in wartime. Vivi as a naval wife wandered and spend each day alone against an exquisite pastoral backdrop, worrying about her husband Nathan, and his naval duties, expecting him to return home soon., or walking the rooms of the house in the dreary wake of her Mother in law. As Nathan heals from his injury at the same time, a job was waiting for him at the Admiralty to see out the war behind a desk in Whitehall. While working at Whitehall he could stay during the week at Grosvenor Street and be at the halls on the weekend.
Will Vivi be able to be his wife without him during the war? All she wanted was to be alone with him and be his wife. Will Vivi being a fifth avenue American girl reincarnated as an English countrywoman be able to tread carefully and find a way to fit in? An emotionally moving plotline, Thanks to Boldwood books Publishers, and Rachel Random Resources for a complimentary copy for my honest review.
