I loved this novel and I loved its strong and resilient characters who face the hardships of living during WWII.
It’s the second book in the Bryant Sisters series and can be read as a stand-alone as it’s rich of explanations about what happened before.
I read in an afternoon and found it compelling and entertaining and I loved the sense of purpose and hope that animates the characters.
There’s a war, people are dying, bombs and food scarcity but the characters hope in a better tomorrow and hope is what animates them.
The plot flows, is tightly knitted, and it’s full of twists and turns. I rooted for Bella and Bobby and appreciated Mam, Fenella and Ruth.
The villain of the story is interesting, an excellent villain you cannot help detesting.
The author is a good storyteller and there’s a lot of attention to the details and an excellent character development.
It’s the perfect book for these bleak times and it’s both heartwarming and heartbreaking.
Strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
