Unexpected twists and story lines. Rollercoaster of emotions
I love books i cant predict, and i found myself wrong on many occasions dyring this one. Unexpectedly funny at times and very sad in the others, it kept me hooked and hopefull throughout
I started this book on vacation and the characters were so engaging I barely noticed Flight delays and turbulence.
It is a coming of age story set mostly in Britain during WW2. The main character is a young girl who is forced to leave home to escape the Nazis and adjust to life without her family in a place where she knows no one and doesn't speak the language. It's the plight of many children, even today and the author tells it with a lot of insight and compassion.
