I was
really excited to read this book because I knew it was historical fiction and
it was set during a war, which are one of my favorite genres to read. I read
the description but wasn’t sure about the time period, I was guessing some time
during World War I. But I soon found out that it was set during and after the
Spanish-American War in 1898. I loved reading about this time period because it
was something I wasn’t as familiar with. Elizabeth Camden did a good job of
infusing a lot of historical elements which I greatly enjoyed because I love
history. So not only did i enjoy a great story but i learned some things on the
way.
To the
Farthest Shores centers around two main characters, Jenny Bennett, who is an
army nurse, and Lieutenant Ryan Gallagher. They both meet at the beginning of
the war and quickly fall in love and begin planning their future after the war.
But a year later Jenny receives a letter from Ryan stating he is never
returning to America. Jenny is confused and heart broken. Fast forward six
years, the war has ended but a rebellion causes soldiers to stay in the Philippines.
Jenny is still a nurse at the army base and all is going well until Ryan
Gallagher shows up and he is not alone. She is shocked and confused that he is
in San Francisco. She has so many questions and she is still hurt by what he
did to her.
I loved

recommend. Read it!
I received
