Review - In Perfect Time by Sarah Sundin




I'm not a big reader of the WWII genre, as I prefer my fictional reading to be set in the 1800s, but from time to time I do find myself reading a book or two set in this era. The Wings of Nightingale series is written by Sarah Sundin. I recall reading the first book, With Every Letter, but for some reason I don't remember reading the second installment, On Distant Shore

In Perfect Time centers on the Army Air Force flight nurse Lt. Kay Jobson, a character that also appeared in With Every Letter as a minor character and I presume she also appeared in the second book as well. Her romantic interests in the book is C-47 pilot Lt. Roger Cooper, another minor character from book one. I'm not going to go into detail about the plot here, as I don't want to spoil it for everyone else.

The author, Sarah Sundin, obviously loves the genre and did a lot of research, as she crafted detailed descriptions of the era throughout the novel; making the reader feel like they are actually in 1940s right there with the characters; dropping supplies to soldiers and helping the wounded. The romance never felt forced upon the characters, Kay and Roger, making me to believe that they actually loved each other.

Overall, In Perfect Time is a well-written romantic novel that gives us readers a glimpse at what it was like for the aviation during WWII. This is a Christian novel, so it is a clean-cut romance. I enjoyed reading the third installment in the Wings of Nightingale series and I recommend it others.
