This is a classic book set in the Blitz, slightly difficult to get into at first as it is quite wordy but once you've gotten past that then you are met with an incredibly poignant story about life and times for people during the Blitz and I would definitely 100% read this book again, obviously very well researched and gives readers an insight into what life was like back then. A real page Turner, really depicts nursing and the living conditions in the east end during this time. It's a very enjoyable book and you feel as if you are actually there with the main character Oda facing all the hardships she suffers throughout the course of this incredible book. 10/10 will definitely be recommending to a friend
