![]() The book could have done with being a little longer! There was one story line in particular that I would have loved to have seen developed, but it seemed forgotten. My criticisms lie with the lack of attention that certain stories got in this book. Motherhood is a uniting factor between characters, and it was beautifully done. The chapter from the perspective of a mother in the USSR really captures the essence of this story, and what it means to be a mother and want to protect your children. This book explores the Cuban Missile Crisis, a famous conflict, from a unique angle. What stands out the most in this book is the idea of motherhood. I am incredibly interested in reading more of the author's work! There were more than five POVs throughout the book, but it wasn't drastically confusing when the voices switched, and each chapter belonged in the story. Writing multi-POV books can often go wrong, but I really liked the way this book was structured. The author has a wonderful way of writing characters that read like real people and keeps you invested in their stories. This book was incredibly interesting and emotive. Though on opposites side of the conflict, both parties want the same thing to keep their children safe. ![]() ![]() ![]() Set during the Cuban Missile crisis, Home Front Lines follows African American Military spouses in the USA and Three Cuban Sisters. ![]()
