My favorite WW2 book since Atonement; does the “mixed-timeline historical fiction” genre very well; excellent sense of scientific wonder in the dawn of the radio era.

Hard to describe how many times I stopped reading to say, “That's a gorgeous paragraph.” I don't understand the few critiques I've heard that “nothing happens,” because I was racing to the end to discover the plot arc.

Pretty as a picture, highly recommended
