My Review

Marriage before Death, is the fifth novel in the Still Life with Memories Series, but read well as a standalone novel.

Lenny Kaminsky must face the fact his beautiful, beloved wife is suffering from Alzheimerโ€™s. Her memories are fading, and make their time together all the more precious.

They met and fell in love in France during the days leading up to D-Day which makes the war they are fighting now-Alzheimerโ€™s-all the more poignant and heart-wrenching.

I love this authorโ€™s writing. She brings the turbulent wartime landscape to vivid, unforgettable life and yet guides the reader through with a beautiful love story.

A story of survival!

I give Marriage Before Death 5 lovely kisses- A Highly Recommended Read!
