Where Dragonflies
Hover by AnneMarie Brear is the story of two women connected through a
diary. The story opens in 1945, Alexandria “Allie” Jameson, whose health is
fading, is determined to finish the
story of her and Daniel. Allie was a nurse in France during World War I when
she meets Captain Daniel “Danny” Hollingsworth as she nursed him back to health
after he was wounded in battle. Fast forward to 2010, Alexandria “Lexi” O’Connor
is a successful solicitor and married to a successful doctor but something is
missing. Hollingsworth House, an old estate, is up for sale and she is
determined to have this house despite her husband, Dylan’s, objections. Her
desire for the house intensifies when she find Allie’s diary. She buys the
house and begins to fix up the house as she continues to read Allie’s diary.
She and Dylan split when it seems they want different things in life. When an emergency
seems to bring them back together, will they be able to reconnect and
rediscover their love for each other? Will Allie and Danny have a happily ever
after?
Where Dragonflies
Hover is a wonderful story which blends past and present into a heart
wrenching love story. One love during a terrible war and another during a war
within themselves. I loved that Ms. Brear chose the backdrop of World War I for
Allie and Danny’s story. So few books have stories set during the Great War or
tell the story of the brave men who fought in the trenches and the women who
were in the field hospitals who worked tirelessly to save their lives. I also
loved Lexi and Dylan’s story which is such a modern story of trying to find the
balance between one’s career and their heart’s desires. I highly recommend Where Dragonflies Hover!
