A girl in wartime

There were things about this book that I really enjoyed and other things that just grew old
quickly. I enjoy learning about what the average person's life was like in this era. It
constantly amazes me how much life has changed since then. Connie, the main character
was incredibly immature and weak and didn't seem to learn from her experiences. I find it
hard to believe that she was of interest to a man 9 years her senior and that she was so
terrified of telling her family. There was a 12 year difference in age between my Mom and
Dad who married post WW2 and there marriage was a huge success so I know it can be
done but Stephen had a lot to put up with in this novel. The parts that touched me the most
in the novel were the parts that touched on her brothers war service and how such service
could affect mental health.
There's no escape from the effects of war... It's June 1914 and young Connie Lovell should
be helping with the war effort. Instead, she applies for a job at the London Herald, where she
meets the handsome editor Stephen Clayton. Nine years her senior, she knows her family
won't approve. She is helplessly drawn to him, and despite a past he won't talk about, he is
undeniably attracted to her. But as the war rages on, will Stephen be forced to enlist, and
can their union survive the consequences?

Eight below movie


What you may not know is that this film is based on the Japanese film “Antarctica” (1983),
and that both of these films are based on the true story of the ill-fated 1958 Japanese
expedition to Antarctica.
Eight Below is a movie inspired by true events concerning a team of sled dogs who, due to a
set of unfortunate circumstances, are left behind in Antarctica to fend for themselves.

The frozen wasteland of Antarctica serves as the background for a tale about the
bonds of friendship and loyalty. Three members of a scientific expedition, Jerry
Shepard (Paul Walker), his friend Cooper (Jason Biggs) and an American geologist
(Bruce Greenwood), must leave their beloved sled dogs behind after a devastating
accident and increasingly perilous weather conditions. Alone, the dogs struggle to
survive the harsh Antarctic winter.
