This also a subplot concerning the wizards of Unseen University, and is the novel to come up with such delights as the Sock Monster (remember all those missing socks you have? Exactly.) and the Oh God of hangovers, alongside the Verruca Gnome and the Jolly Fairy - all of which have been created by the 'spare belief' sloshing around when people stop believing in the Hogfather. It's also good to see an, essentially, extended cameo by Nobby Nobbs, while some of the footnotes scattered throughout did have me laughing out loud.

When WW2 breaks out, Theo joins the RAF, and a bored, unfulfilled Tessa joins Special Operations and goes to France.
Theo returns, Tessa does not.
Many years later, a PhD student researching the women in Special Operations, gets in contact with Theo about his sister, and together they uncover a shocking secret.
I loved this book. It was so well researched, exciting and emotionally devastating. I was left bereft at the end. The sacrifices people made during this time, even when society made it unacceptable, and women like Tessa did it anyway, were profound.
I couldn’t recommend this more if I tried!
