Loved.Characters. Setting. Descriptions. Story.Always a treat to find a new addition to this Canadian author's repertoire .

I love when new authors find me and think that I will like their books. I am always intrigued because with the internet it’s hard to get a feel for people sometimes so when an author asks me if I would like to review their book or they think it’s something I will like—it always makes me pause.I can honestly say that I give every single book that comes across my desk for review, my full and complete consideration for this reason. Authors, publishers, friends on social media…..I read all the pitch...

Loved my first Genevieve Graham book! Full review pending.

I have never read a Genevieve Graham book before and when I was given the opportunity to read this one I was absolutely thrilled! I have always been quite partial to reading books with themes surrounding our Canadian history and with the setting and the different perspective of World War II that was written here was quite the welcome and refreshing read for me. I suspected that I was in for a treat while reading Come From Away and I most definitely was! COME FROM AWAY by GENEVIEVE GRAHAM was an

Come From Away is connected to Tides of Honor but can be read as a standalone. It was my first book by Genevieve Graham and I look forward to reading more. In Come From Away the lives of The Baker children are the focus here and we meet our main character Grace Baker. Come From Away is an interesting and engaging story of love and war seen from a different angle with some Canadian history here. The angle and setting were very refreshing and I really enjoyed seeing a different perspective to WWII...

**2.5** I've got 4 minutes left on my audiobook, but I'm going to call this. There were parts I liked. And parts I didn't. Overall though, the book felt...juvenile? Like this was an early effort by someone hoping to be become an author. They just need a little more practice. It dealt with some heavy themes, but there was no subtlety in the messages being conveyed. It was shoved in your face each time and over-explained. A German soldier losing faith in the German cause in WWII and trying to star...

This is my first book by this author and I have now purchased Tides of Honour. This book can be read as a stand-alone too. I really enjoyed being able to read about a Canadian story that takes place during WWll. I became a lot more informed about the war and the effect it had on Canadian residents at home. I also became more aware just how much activity there was close to the Canadian east coast. This story is about a family where the three sons have gone to fight the war and the hardships they

World War II has hit the banks of Grace Baker’s small coastal town. Her three beloved brothers, have all entered the war against Germany. Grace has stayed behind to tend the local merchant shop she runs and assist her parents. A dance offers a reprieve from thoughts of the war and it is where Grace meets a handsome young man named Rudy.The tale that unfolds is poignant, rich in history, emotions, and as relevant today as it would have been then. A character driven tale wrapped in history that ma...

The couple from the previous books have grown children in this one, and it is their story. Well Grace's story to be honest.WWII, Grace's 3 brothers go to war and she is left at home wondering if she should do more. But she has her job and parents. So life goes on, until she meets a handsome stranger. I liked Grace, she was levelheaded, but she could also hold one big grudge. Then there is Rudi, disillusioned by the war and Hitler, and Canada sure looks a lot greener than the hell that is war. I

I reviewed the print edition for RT Magazine and was excited to be able to review the audio edition too.The audio edition of Come From Away is a delight because of the flawless emotion filled performance by Michelle Ferguson. It’s perfectly articulated, she’s got the male and female voices down pat and her German accent while reciting Rudy’s role is amazing. Having read and reviewed the print copy I love both but I have to admit that listening to it gave it just a little bit more.

I love a book that plays with my emotions and morals!I'm not going to lie, I had to do some serious moral gymnastics to get through a lot of this book. To say I shared a lot of the same feelings as the main character Grace, would be an understatement. A common theme in books where a Nazi officer has a relationship with a civilian is that the officer believes that Germany is all powerful but not necessarily that straight, white, neurotypical Germans are superior. Not all believed that those who d...

I just loved this book! It was an easy and lighthearted read, yet the author still did a great job of capturing the characters’ emotions and struggles. Just a note - it is NOT the same story as Come From Away, the popular musical.

I received a free advance e-copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.The very first thing I did after finishing this book was go online and order another book by this author. It was that good! I was initially drawn to the book by its cover and title as well as the fact that it was set in the time of WW2, an era that I am fascinated with.I think that the title Come From Away first captured my attention because of the wonderful Broadway Musical "Come From Away" which is s...

I received an eARC of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.I went into this book with high expectations - a historical fiction set in Canada during war time? That is basically one of my most favourite set ups. Come From Away did not disappoint. I enjoy historical fiction because I enjoy learning about the past AND a good story. The was definitely some history here I had never been aware of before, which is always fun. It felt very well researched, and the spirit of the Cana...

Genevieve Graham's latest novel, Come From Away, takes us back to the small fishing outport of East Jeddore, Nova Scotia - also the setting for her previous book, Tides of Honour. Tides of Honour was a historical piece set in WW1 featuring Danny and Audrey. I was thrilled to see that Come From Away continues the story of the Baker family with the next generation. It is now 1942 and war is yet again raging. The three Baker sons have headed off to fight, leaving sister Grace at home to help her pa...
