This is an engaging and powerful story, and I really enjoyed the fast pace of it. The group of friends in this story are very authentic, down-to-earth, and have a great connection with each other. I like how they regrouped years later after their unique life experiences around the world, sharing what they did and learned along the way. I found the setting and time period during the 1930s to be very interesting, and I enjoyed learning what life was like back then. Recommended.
