Though the story was a bit slow to start the story took off. The twist of WWII mixed with current day troubles was interesting. The tug between mother and daughter learning to live, truly live after a tragic accident rings true to life. As I read the beautiful landscape of Southern France with the sunshine on a warm beach was the perfect setting. It was easy to picture myself there, the water lapping at the sand as I watched the waves.Map of the Heart so much more than a love story. It's written as a perfectly twined love story and historical fiction, which is hard to do and do right, but Susan Wiggs did it. Map of the heart is a historical fiction/romance that takes you on a journey of secrets and betrayals, heartbreak followed by the understanding that love will always find a way. The book covers a span of time that was filled with unforgettable memories in history, but I will remember the love story the most.

SUSAN WIGGS is the author of more than fifty novels, including the beloved Lakeshore Chronicles series and her most recent, instant New York Times bestseller Family Tree.
