The Key to Everything - Book Review

 


Nostalgic sentiment fills the pages of Valerie Fraser Luesse's The Key to Everything. I felt like I was there through the author’s vivid descriptions and active voice. Word War II stories are always an intriguing read, but this story is in the aftermath of the war and touches on the emotional state of many people, particularly the young ones who didn’t experience the war firsthand but only through their older family members. The Key to Everything is told from the perspective of a teenager who had to figure out why his father was so different after the war, as well as find his own place in the world. And what a pretty world the setting of the story took place in. It was a virtual vacation for me as I read along. Great read!
