As bright as heaven is a book about a family who looses a baby boy and get the chance to take care of a helpless child. It depicts how the family deals with war, and the spanish flu. It was very familiar, the environment of the spanish flu and the pandemic that we are dealing with now. Also the story is told from multiple different characters perspective. From the victims to bystanders we see how everyone dealt with the plague. She also explores the PTSD soldiers had to deal with after the war. This is an extremely heartwarming story and such a quick read. I loved all the characters and each of their perspectives captivated my attention. The writing was beautiful and the words just flowed on the page. I would recommend anyone who loves historical fiction to pick up this book.
