It is 1938 and headstrong eighteen-year-old Mari Carrera leaves a gossipy small town in rural New Zealand aboard the SS Rimutaka. Rather too careless with her reputation, Mari is bound for the bustling anonymity of London - but she is all too willing to be seduced by the temptations of the glittering West End. Until war comes and snatches it all away. As the Blitz rains death on London, Mari's life is blown apart. Lost and alone in the burning East End, she learns that to endure this war she must find strength, selflessness and compassion locked within her. And soon this born survivor must risk everything - putting her life on the line for others. 'Must-read.' Daily Express 'Pearse demonstrates her skill at spinning a good story.' Daily Mail 'Another classic.' Bella

This one takes us through Mari's childhood in New Zealand, leaving for England and the duration of WW2.

Its been so long since I've read a historical fiction based around one family and this definitely filled that hole in my reading diet.

All in all this is a great trilogy, each book holds its own it terms of plot and character work and the wrap up was satisfying and left me teary eyed.

Four stars.
