** spoiler alert ** I LOVED the book until the ending. I almost wish Dexter Styles was never introduced as a plot. The book would have been more realistic if it was about a strong woman working a risky job during the war who also had a handicapped sister and a low level criminal father who disappeared. The whole Dexter Styles plot made the book very unrealistic. Also, are we really to believe that nobody questioned Anna suddenly getting married and moving to California?
