Review: A Pledge of Silence

A Pledge of Silence by Flora J. Solomon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this ebook as part of the IHG Rewards program.

There is a lot of dark and depressing aspects of this book. I feel like I've read a decent number of books that take place during war but fewer that follow veterans and prisoners of war home and show their struggles as they resume relationships. I appreciate that some of the relationships in this book aren't perfect but still loving. I found the ones that were more "perfect-seeming" to be rather annoying.

There is an awful lot of foreshadowing in this book that makes it easy to see things coming. You can definitely see the deaths (or the revelation of deaths) of many of the characters coming. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it did make the book seem a little cheap. The time jumps towards the end were a little jarring, especially when some of the chapters have no time passing from the end of the last chapter.
