On the Edge of Uncertainty: A Women in War Historical Romance

Many thanks to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial, and author E.V. Bancroft for this ARC. I am happily leaving my honest review. I have been meaning to read an E.V. Bancroft book as I have been hearing wonderful things and was thrilled to be given the opportunity. The rumors are true and this book was spectacular. I am a huge fan of historical sapphic romance and On The Edge of Uncertainty was simply lovely. We are treated to a deeply emotional, lost love, second chance romance that takes place over decades. This story is wonderfully multifaceted and aptly discusses heartbreak, loneliness, resilience and inner strength. A perfect blend of vulnerability and courage, this book left me at once satisfied and saddened to see its end. I will look for more by Bancroft in the future. I have not yet had the pleasure of reading the other books in this series but did not feel confused or as though I was missing anything here. This book absolutely stood on its own for me. However, after reading this book and enjoying it immensely, I will seek out the others. Florrie is a beautiful woman, inside and out. She is the heart and soul of this story and I honestly became quite enamored with her. Having lived through her fair share of trauma and pain, she remains a gentle and kind beacon of light. It is through Florrie’s memories that we see the vibrant, strong and remarkable woman she is. Florrie is a generous and selfless woman who has spent her life putting everyone above herself. She has spent her…

Without any uncertainty I can say that I love this story. I love the atmosphere, self honesty, dialogue and shared insights between all the characters and the realities they had to live through in that place and time. A special romance later in life.

This is another exceptional story by Ms. Bancroft. I like the time period that she writes in. The two M Cs were very interesting in that they seemed like two very opposite women, yet they were attracted to each other. The years were not kind to them, but things ended happily. I highly recommend this book, in fact read all of her books. I just love them!
