Love the book! If you are a historical fiction fanatic like me, you'll really love this book although you don't have to be one to love it. It takes you back to WWII and the behind-the-scene happenings that you won't read in history books. It explores all kinds of emotions and how events affect people in different ways as well as how they cope with them. It even questions moral values or lack thereof. Opens your eyes to the painful reality of wars and why most veterans don't want to talk about them. If you want to find out more, buy and read it. You won't regret it!
Loved this book. The author has clearly done historical research about WWII and writes compellingly of the horror of war and the fight for survival from both a military and civilian perspective. The main character Katrinka is complex, adventurous and loving. She captivates the reader with her courage and compassion. I highly recommend this book.
Another fab wwII read. Yet different from many others I've read. It's way more than a love story and takes you through what went on behind the scenes. I would recommend
The main character in this book, Katrinka, is like no one else I've read on the page. Adventurous, compassionate, vulnerable, and sexually liberated. JAGOTR is a beautiful, winding love story that takes the reader through a terrifying WWII landscape steeped in realism. Instead of diving into the larger battles of the conflict, you get to see the work of those brave souls who worked in secret behind the lines to defeat the Nazis. This is a really well written book with an excellent character arc. Highly recommend.
Just Another Girl on the Road is the story of Katrinka, a young girl caught in the middle of the war in France in 1944. We learn more of Katrinka's upbringing as the story develops which helps to explain her complex character, having two very different men as fathers caught in a love triangle with her independent mother. History looks to be repeating itself a she becomes involved in her own love triangle with Nye and Farr. But this is much more than just a love story, we also learn how the war affected every day life and how ordinary people risked everything to aid the Allied Forces and the French Resistance. The sexual scenes do not really add much to the story, some readers may find Katrinka's attitude to sex a sign of an independent, strong young woman - others may feel it is the sign of deeper issues coming from her childhood.
