About this listen
Five-time Christy Award winner Lynn Austin is acclaimed as “one of the genre’s best historical fiction novelists” (Library Journal). Set in Brooklyn, New York, during World War I, While We’re Far Apart is a brilliant blend of captivating characters, heart-tugging emotions, and vivid spiritual truths. While a motherless girl longs for her daddy and a young lady hopes for a second chance at love, this poignant tale explores the uncertainty that stalks the homefront as the “War to End All Wars” rages in Europe.

Brillant historical novel about world war 2
The story of a Jewish and a Christian family living in the USA during world war 2. Many issues are explored from a Jewish and Christian perspective in a warm, convincing and imaginative way, emphasizing the common ground of the Old Testament and the character of God. A very good read which makes the book hard to put down. Historical detail is well researched and fascinating.

Spellbinding from start to finish
This was impossible to ‘put down’ thank you to the author who brought to life the characters, and retold part of history from their perspective.

perfect
I loved this book. so much emotion and historical accuracy. makes one realise the huge number of Jewish people who died on the holocaust. I love jane Austin because there is always a happy ending, even after traumatic events. I would definitely recommend.

The human stories of History WW2
This story brings the essence of how normal people coping with the effects of loved ones fighting for peace. the story entwins the religious differences yet brings the desire of hope together.
The author gave each character their voice to shine through, the hardships, indifference and hopes.
This is a story that touches on the horrors of war, and brings it to life yet allows the reader to understand how it effects everyday people. the characters grow from the beginning and acceptance is enabled to flourish.
Highly recommend this book..
narrator was very good capturing each character .
