I'm really unsure about how I feel about this one. I read and loved The Long Song, but this one was a little bit harder to get through.

I found Hortense and Queenie fairly unlikable which made it hard to want to keep reading it. Having said that, it was a powerful story of racism in World War Two. It was upsetting, hard-hitting and eye-opening. Exploring the story through four characters who grow and change in differing degrees.

Whilst I struggled for the first 100/150 pages, as the stories began weaving together and get more and more complex it was harder and harder to put down. And the ending came out of nowhere, but such a good ending for each of the characters.
