-From the back cover-
In the spring of 1917, all of Britain's attention is on WWI war front and the thousands of young men serving their country on the front lines. Jack Benningham, dashing heir to the Earl of Stonebrooke, is young and able-bodied but refuses to enlist despite the contempt of his peers.
A wealthy young suffragette, Grace Mabry will do anything to assist her country's cause. Men like Jack infuriate her when she thinks of her own brother fighting in the trenches of France, so she has no reservations about handing him a white feather of cowardice at a posh masquerade ball. But Grace could not anticipate the danger and betrayal set into motion by her actions, and soon she and Jack are forced to learn the true meaning of courage when the war raging overseas suddenly strikes much closer to home and their fervent beliefs become a matter of life and death.
Betrayal and love lurk in WWI England..
There are a number of great WWII novels out there but it's not quite so often that you run into a WWI one. Not By Sight is a wonderful story of love, forgiveness, seeing beneath the surface, and how the smallest action can dramatically change lives. Grace is a well-meaning young lady who only wants to help but her naïve enthusiasm can sometimes lead her a little astray. But it just might be exactly what Jack needs and at just the right time. I have to admit that I did guess who the infiltrator was fairly early on but then Kate Breslin tossed in other 'clues' that made me question my suspicions and I was in for some real surprises by the end. People aren't always exactly as they appear which is a lesson that Grace and Jack must both learn. |

I just have to say that the Bethany House art team really did a great job with the cover. It is the perfect lead-in to the story and is one of my favorites for this year. So mysterious, even brooding, and what a scrumptious dress!
An enjoyable historical with all of the drama and excitement of war set in a seemingly peaceful landscape in the English countryside. Not By Sight hearkens back to a simpler and yet just as complex era, Kate Breslin's Grace must navigate through the sometimes murky and confusing waters of growing up/maturing in a difficult and dark time. If you love historicals and English stories don't miss this one!
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Not By Sight by Kate Breslin a 4 Bark rating.
