Silver Moon (By the Light of the Moon #3) by Jenny Knipfer

Book Description

Silver Moon, the third book in the series: By the Light of the Moon, paints a stunning and poignant picture of life on the home front in Webaashi Bay, Ontario, and of three men who are a part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during WWI.

Shamed into joining the war, the tide turns for Luis Wilson when he is steered into the depths of espionage. Injured and presumed missing, will he lose his heart to the very woman who presented him with a white feather?

Oshki and Jimmy offer a grim perspective on life in the trenches. They despair of ever returning home to the women who hold their hearts.

Meanwhile, Lily fights for the cause in her own way and rallies the female troops at home as prejudices run high and the local cafe owner is accused of being a spy.

Will the women of Webaashi Bay receive their men back unscathed? Can the power of love win out over insurmountable odds? All this drama and more plays out under the light of a silver moon. 

My thoughts:

Silver Moon is the third book in the Light of the Silver Moon series by Ms. Knipfer.  I hadn’t read the first two in the series but It didn’t bother me as I quickly got caught up in the story of WW1 and the compelling characters she crafted. I am a huge fan of historical fiction so I loved absolutely everything about this artfully written novel.

This is an emotional story as we read about the men who go off to war separating them from their loved ones, which is a sad reality.  I enjoyed getting to know the characters but in hindsight it would have been better if I had read the books in order which is why I suggest doing that to other readers because you’ll get more of the backstory.  However, I still loved this novel and will get the first two books in the series.

Overall, I thought this novel was fascinating and it held my attention throughout.  I received an e-copy and was under no obligation to write a positive review.  All opinions are my own.
