Here’s an early review – 5 stars

 Riveting scenes, intense human reactions Ms. Flynn never disappoints her readers while gathering new ones with her well-developed characters and interesting stories. In Sisters At War her narrators take us to the 1940’s war-torn Liverpool, England, onto merchant ships navigating the dangerous German-infested seas, and aboard the decrepit ships taking war prisoners and detainees to Australia. Ms. Flynn handles each riveting scene with truly believable actions and intense human reactions. As a reader of historical fiction, i have read many WWII books, but this was my first with such a range of events. Highly recommended.
