Wow what a book, I was hooked from the start. Following Ida and her family through the trials and tribulations of family life during war time, the amount of detail regarding the struggle that faced people while on rations was eye opening. Spent the whole book in awe of the brogans and thier resilience.
I honestly got lost in the pages and felt like I was there in the shelters with them when the luffwaite were dropping thier bombs, the strength of the family bond really shines through and I am eager for more, going to have to buy the rest of Jean Fullerton’s books as the writing and scene setting is second to none.
I think in this modern age we take far too much for granted and I was truly inspired by Ida who made me step back and be grateful for what I have.
