Tthis second installment of The Clifton Chronicles begins basically where the first novel left off and ends with enough of a 'what-next?' that will keep the reader desiring to know more. The last chapter or so (the ending) though was a bit slow (or maybe it was the fact this reader was half asleep at 3:30AM when finishing it up). Still, it sets up the next book, which will be read.
Events of the past intrude on the present (the period of World War II) for the Clifton family and the Barrington family. The novel is divided into sections based on the perspective of the various characters. There is love, intrigue, and betrayal. There are twists and turns. There are good characters and bad, yet sometimes it is hard to tell which is which.
While it would be possible to pick up the threads of the story without having read the first, many of the details of these two intertwined families would be lost. Having read the first one quite some time ago, some of the details had this reader desiring to re-read the first one. The period between two and three and the others will not be that long (already have the next couple in hand).

Sending along with two other books in the series...this is the second novel in the Clifton Chronicles, in which the cliffhanger from the first is resolved.
