No real standouts for March, but this was the Scarlett book most like Noel Streatfeild's children's books, so of course I enjoyed it.

Engrossing story about two theatrical families putting on a show in post-WWII England. There are two romance going on but it's really more about the theater experience and how everyone in the family is part of it, which is great fun to read about. Dancing Shoes, my favorite Steatfeild, is fairly obviously a reworking of this book, but it's different enough to not make this annoying to read.
pickThis ia s great place to start if you want to know more about everyday lives in Britain from 1939-45, both those who fought and those who remained at home to fight on the Home Front.

When I found this fascinating little book in our local secondhand bookshop, I was drawn in by the plethora of photos. What I took away from it was how resilient the children of wartime had been and how brave.
This was such an inspiring read.

A great read that explains all the many sneaky ways in which the allies won the war.
