This was a extremely quick read, but it as enjoyable. The main character is likable, and though she is whiny at the very beginning, she soon becomes hard-working and thankful as part of the plot/character growth, both of which were well done. It is realistic in portraying life in 1918, though I know absolutely nothing about the time period, there were no glaring atrocities. I recommend this to loves of historical fiction who want a fast, easy read. I would have given this a better rating had the end been better. I actually enjoyed the book and then the end was like what? It ended so abruptly. The author went through all the trouble to develop Gabe, Gilly and Daniel's characters, and then we don't get to see their happy ending? Let alone Mercy's ending. At the very least, let us see her go back to the farm and then let our minds wander from there, but we didn't even get that much. It was disappointing.
What do You think about The Goodbye Season (2009)?
this was one of the most amazing books I have ever read! You have to read it! Best book ever!

I really liked it except for the end when it just broke off.
