A WAKE FOR THE DREAMLAND, A Novel by Laurel Deedrick-Mayne, is a harrowing account of the lives of three friends from Edmonton during World War Two, two young men and one young woman.
"What makes this book unusual, however, is that one of the young men is gay. This is still a fairly taboo topic in the military today, so you can imagine how difficult it was for homosexuals back in wartime days. This element adds a layer of interest and complexity to the story that I haven't read anywhere else. The story continues after the war, so there is a welcome resolution at the end when we finally find out what happens to the three main characters. Highly recommended." -Reviewed by Elinor on Goodreads.
