Penny From Heaven

Penny from Heaven by Jennifer L. Holm

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is an enjoyable young adult fiction that is of historical significance. Without spoiling the ending, I’ll just say I had no idea that what was depicted happened post WWII. I loved the details of the time period and the characters. I loved being part of a very Italian family for awhile. The characterization was amazing. That may be because the author used her own family as models and included details from their personalities and lives, as she explains in the afterword. The conclusion had me weeping. I will seek other books by this fine author.
