Inspiration for the Novel - Martha Hall Kelly". Martha Hall Kelly. 2014-06-10. Archived from the original on 2018-01-30 . Retrieved 2023-08-26. History does not always repeat itself. Sometimes it just yells, 'Can't you remember anything I told you?' and lets fly with a club.” It is 1914, and the world has been on the brink of war so often, many New Yorkers treat the subject with only passing interest. Eliza Ferriday is thrilled to be traveling to St. Petersburg with Sofya Streshnayva, a cousin of the Romanovs. The two met years ago one summer in Paris and became close confidantes. Now Eliza embarks on the trip of a lifetime, home with Sofya to see the splendors of Russia: the church with the interior covered in jeweled mosaics, the Rembrandts at the tsar’s Winter Palace, the famous ballet. Though [Abraham Lincoln] never would travel to Europe, he went with Shakespeare’s kings to Merry England; he went with Lord Byron poetry to Spain and Portugal. Literature allowed him to transcend his surroundings.” Then as now, females were fifty percent of the population during the Second World War and despite not being in combat, their lives were directly and indirectly altered by the events. While knowledge of the events of the war will aid the reader in understanding the book, this summary contains enough information so that even those that are clueless about the Second World War will understand what many women went through. Although it is a novel, it would take very little to convert it into a work of history.It’s so rare that I come across a WWII historical fiction that I don’t enjoy. But ladies, THIS STORY HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL and I felt like it was left in the hands of someone who totally, totally botched it. Which is so sad, because you can tell how much love, passion, and research went into this novel by Hall Kelly, but it feel oh so short, I’m sorry.
