The Long Flight Home by Alan Hlad

 My Rating: 4.9

Inspired by fascinating, true, yet little-known events during World War II, The Long Flight Home is a testament to the power of courage in our darkest hours—a moving, masterfully written story of love and sacrifice.

Susan and her grandfather Bertie raise homing pigeons. Thousands of miles away in Maine there is a young crop duster named Ollie. Their three lives intersect in the most interesting of ways.

I love Historical Fiction. Even more, I love when I can learn something about history. This book had both of those elements. It was wholesome while still capturing the brutality and difficulties of the war. I even loved the ending. Fabulous and definite recommend.
