pickI needed that.
As much of this book is charming in a manner reminiscent of 84, Charing Cross Road, there is also the pathos of loss and deprivation, as well as forthrightly delivered accounts of the horrors of war.
It feels more real, has more depth, for not just being idyllic, even as there are sun-warmed moments of community rejoicing at war's end, and touching moments of compassionate fortitude whilst struggling through occupation. 1/?
Well they DO sound terrifying when you describe them like that! 🐔🐓😱
The word picture! 😆
Something about disheveled birds of prey, they remind me of grumpy muppets.
A winning simile.
EXACTLY.
Have a feeling this one is going to popular but it was the first one I thought of!
