Sarah's Review
This is a nice, light-hearted read. It takes place in London (obviously) during World War II. It portrays an interesting glimpse into what life actually looked like in London during the war…children rushed off to the country, the aftermath of bombings day after day, food rations, and so on. While a novel, I felt the author did an excellent job at portraying real-life. The deep hurts and joyous occasions were very relatable and raw. *There is a love story as part of the plot line, but it was so minor, that I would not consider the book as a whole a “love story.” The Lord’s name was used 4 times as well as 2 instances of “what the devil.”
