Profile Image for sarah c.

Brilliant historical/war novel where the 1940s collide with the present day.

Life, love and loss in the 1940s and the present day. Great original story line expertly narrated. I love this Authors knowledge and the research she has undertaken to make this a truly encapsulating story, that I didn't want to put down. I loved her first novel, and this one didn't disapoint. I'm now waiting excitedly for what's to come.
