Long Time Coming by Robert Goddard
Rating:
A fast, fun read that reminds you that people and events aren’t always as they seem...
Another hit for Robert Goddard, an author who pulls you into the characters and times he masterfully creates in his stories. In this book Long Time Coming we meet two people forced to uncover and understand the conflicts and complications in the lives of family members during the World War II era. It is a story where the acts of people in one generation reverberate down to the next. The story moves back and forth from the 1940s to the 1970s - from London to Dublin to Antwerp. There are shady characters who do redeeming things; simple people caught up in the course of history; evil people, and those just trying to do the right thing. Art theft, forgery, betrayals, and falling in love, keep the story moving and keep you wondering right up to the last pages. A fast, fun read that reminds you that people and events aren’t always as they seem.
