A Refuge at Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky

I loved this book by Carrie Turansky. It is book 3 in the Edwardian Brides series. WWI is taking place and Penny has taken refuge at Highland Hall. Alex Goodwin is a pilot flying aircraft over Germany to keep them from bombing England.

Penny had her heart broken. Can she open her heart to Alex? Will he survive the war and come back to her? I enjoyed reading their letters to one another, getting glimpses into the war from his perspective at the war front and from Penny's perspective at Highland Hall. A Refuge at Highland Hall is a great historical fiction story. You do not need to read these books in order, but once you read this one you'll want to read the others to get to know the other characters.
