A tale spanning generations, from WWII to the 1970s
What would you do if war was coming and you had the chance to send you child to safety? Would you send them away?
In 1940 Beatrix, a young girl from London, is sent to live with the Gregory family just outside of Boston until the end of the war. The story that unfolds is one of growing up in the most unexpected way, of finding yourself in the hardest of times, of learning to love where you didn’t expect to. 
A truly captivating story about love and loss and war and peace. I thought the story got a little slow around the halfway point but I really enjoyed reading about all the different people and what they went through. There’s so much love and grief and self discovery woven into the pages of this book. 
If you enjoy historical fiction that focuses more on the people of that time than the time itself this one is absolutely for you!
