Unputdownable
This is the first book in a six part series, following the lives of several key characters in a South London community, from the outset of WW2 to VE Day. The novels just get stronger and stronger and the action moves into the European conflict too. The characters are really well drawn, the women are strong, there ls humour, romance, action, pathos and Just purely compelling storylines. Recommended for any reader who likes a brilliant ongoing series. I’ve loved all the books thus far. Last one comes out in April 2018. Hope others will enjoy too.

Amazing character depth
The most tragic thing I've ever watched.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Amazing story set in the latter end of WW2, focusing on a preteen boy and his little sister. There isn't many happy moments in this one. And it hits hard.

Captivating
Heart wrenching
How would Death as a narrator describe mortality during WW2? Heartbreakingly.
Any review For this book cannot do it justice. So what will be in store for you while reading this groundbreaking piece of literature? - Heartbreak. Have some tissues ready.
