👶👶👶👶: Bluebird, by Genevieve Graham

What a lovely introduction to Genevieve Graham! This novel was just splendid and full of so much history that I was completely unaware of! I learned of the incredible Canadian effort during The Great War, along with all of the intricacies that tied our two countries together thereafter. With dual timelines spanning a century, Ms. Graham certainly did her homework, and was able to tie the two stories together seamlessly, filling in all the gaps!

Not only did I learn about the brave Bluebirds of the CAMC, but I also gleaned so much information about tunneling during The Great War (of which I was completely ignorant), The Roaring 20s and its accompanying feminist evolution, Prohibition and The Temperance movement, and the Rumrunners that ran counteractive to that movement. It was SUCH an enlightening novel and I will be on the lookout for more of this author's work!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for gifting me with this advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.
