I picked up this battered book at a bookstore in Illinois while on vacation in June. It was worth the cost despite its wrinkled and taped cover.❤️‍🩹

4.5⭐️ I can‘t remember where I first heard about this book but I am so glad that I did. I haven‘t read this author before, but it probably won‘t be the last, as I really enjoyed the story. I found the tempo to be quite quick and even though there were three different characters, the storylines were never really compromised by switching pov‘s. #2024 #fiction #historicalfiction #wwii #londonblitz

Heartwarming and hilarious. Set during the blitz, Vee a petty criminal and 10 year old evacuee Noel team up. Survival is the game. I haven‘t read it in years so I‘m missing some of the details but I remember both these characters and the story was really engaging. It‘s definitely due another read.

Eggs Sounds charming 🧡🧡 5mo

I loved Longbourn by this author. Her voice as a writer really works for me. I enjoyed this novel set during the Blitz. Reads like a historical mystery. My only hesitation is that the author tackles so many topics that, at times, it comes off as a bit muddled. Still recommend this novel for Historical Fiction fans. 3.5 🌟

I know a lot of people are sick of WWII fiction but I still absolutely love it! This is a great installment, with lovely, realistic characters thrown into heartbreaking situations. It was a great audiobook with a lovely narrator and I just ate it up! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

melissajayne It‘s not that I don‘t enjoy the genre, it‘s just some of the topics have been overdone 4mo
candc320 @melissajayne I totally get that! I take breaks between books and read other genres to also help me not get bored with it. 4mo

This one shares some things with Ms Ryan‘s other books: a group of women having to be resourceful against the backdrop of WW2. In this case, when part of the library is destroyed after bombing by Nazis, they take the surviving shelves and books underground and set up there. The characters are plucky and likable, and they find an inner strength while dealing with awful circumstances. My favorite is still The Kitchen Front, but I loved this one too.

intothehallofbooks I received a digital review copy via NetGalley, but I supplemented that digital reading with this large print copy from my library. Many thanks to the publisher. 6mo
