### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A compelling, enjoyable novel brought to life by superb narration
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2023*

My mother served in the U.S. Women’s Army Corps in WWII. She told me many stories, but “Bird’s Eye View” expanded on those by inspiring me to think of things I hadn’t before, like homesickness and everyday relationships with those who served with her, which were certainly good and bad, like we all have with coworkers.I want to give particular mention, and thanks, to the narrator, Francine Brody. She embodies the lead character of Rose beautifully, bringing her to life in a way that made me care deeply, sometimes painfully, about any difficulties she may be experiencing, and even greater joy when celebrating Rose’s triumphs. She does equally as well with the many other characters in the book, not just with a variety of voices, but imbuing each with a distinct and memorable personality. I’ll be looking for more works narrated by Ms. Brody.

    A  really delightful read.
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2015*

I am a 75 year old guy , still working full time , and much of my reading is work related or about  my various hobbies. Other than work I tend to read factual accounts of World War Two. Elinor Florencefrequents a forum I read on that subject so I thought I would give it a try.  I was in the middle of another book but curiosity got me so I started "Bird's Eye View" and finished it  before going back to the other book. It read to me like a memoir or diary kept by a bright lively young woman....though I have never read one, I guess it inspired my imagination. Many of my guy friends do not like women messing up their movies and books about war but in fact thousands of women served in WW II as well as all previous wars. In the 20th and 21st centuries they were recognized with uniforms and rank and this book does an excellent job of introducing many  to that. Wars tend to greatly affect emotions of all people, participants and civilians alike , home life, work, separation, love, anxiety, rations, the list is endless so it seems natural it would affect the relationships of young men and women caught up in it.  I think Ms. Florence has described  these  emotion exceedingly well. I consider myself fortunate to have spent a good bit of time exploring the UK by foot, car and rail, in cities, villages as well as  the countryside and think the author has caught those places quite well in her descriptions, it brought back many memories and should introduce those less traveled into an accurate imaginary "England" and I might add "Canada" . Oddly I taught aerial photography labs as a graduate student  and can confirm that those activities described within the book also accurately portrays the war time mission . I would imagine the life of a very young rural Canadian girl, her first time out of the country  and being introduced to a military life  would have been stressful, complex, demanding and exciting and all those feelings come through here. A few things felt to me that they did not seem exactly right, I had to smile as I thought back over my years and realized life is not exactly right, especially in war.  I applaud  Elinor Florence's  understanding of life, intentionally or not.. A very nice mix.In short this is a lovely book, holds your attention and a pleasure to read. If a 75 year old, sometimes grumpy man,  can enjoy it so then it should appeal to a large range of people. My highest recommendation.. I hope she forgives me my run on sentences !

    A terrific new look at intelligence gathering in WWII
  

*by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2015*

I purchased the Kindle edition and a few sentences scattered through the book were lost in the transfer to my mobile device.  It didn’t spoil the book for me but I would definitely recommend reading it in print.This book truly deserves the 5 stars it has been given by reviewers so far.  Elinor Florence has avoided the clichés of so many wartime novels; Rose’s experiences aren’t glamourized, nor are they romanticized, the story draws you in and I couldn’t put the book down.  It is clear that the author has spent a great deal of time researching this era, and her ability to place her characters both in place and time is exceptional.  I was transported along with Rose from Saskatchewan to wartime England and back again, picturing every moment in my mind.  The only aspect of the story that struck me as written from a 21st century perspective was Rose’s opinion of the fire-bombing of Dresden, but this doesn’t detract from the book at all and is certainly debatable.  I would recommend Bird’s Eye View to anyone.
