I like the post WWII setting, and the hero in the book is a true anti-hero, but one I quickly came to care for despite his strong flaws. That's the sort of character I like reading about. The story has a strong "It's a Wonderful Life" flavor, and if you enjoy that movie as much as I do (it's my all-time fave!) then you'll enjoy One More Sunrise. The ending took some turns I didn't expect, and was in a way, bittersweet. Give it a try. NCLA Review - The story begins in 1941 when Joe Daley's dream is to marry his sweetheart and join the war as a fighter pilot. Seventeen years later we find Joe's life a mess.
