Gives you an insight as to how difficult life was for everyone during World War Two. It takes you there in the moment, eat, breathing & sleeping the peoples anguish, fears & tears of the unpredictable lurking doom! The urgency to love & be loved, the loss & separation of families. The peoples commitment to life to surviving.
Its a brilliant book by a brilliant Maureen Lee,
Thank you I love reading your books.

Great book with multigenerational characters starting from the beginning of WW2 and covering 40 turbulent years there after.

Interesting, relatable and well rounded characters, with some difficult subjects covered sensitively through the book.

The Scouse accent for a couple of characters as mentioned by other reviewers is a bit phlegmy, however the whole book is so much better than this small inconvenience.

Just delightful and I highly recommend.
Hope there is a sequel to this

Marvellous
