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!
