⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I received a copy of the book from the publisher. My review is my own honest opinion.
pickWonderfully evocative, beautifully written and well researched book. There is humour as well as sadness and the British fighting spirit really comes to the fore. The story touches on a variety of issues which kept me engaged and entertained throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, a tale which shows our determination to survive, to stand up for what is right and to put one foot in front of the other with a brave smile on our faces
5⭐️.
