Books set during World War II tend to stick with me and this one will.

Lucien was more than happy to follow these rules until he got an offer he couldn’t refuse.

The Wright Sister picks up when Katharine marries at 52 to a widowed family friend and Orville no longer speaks with her. The book is fiction other than that, but I feel like I got a glimpse into Katharine’s personality.
