1940 and Jo Brogan and her little brother Billy have been evacuated to the country where they find judgement from the locals who are quick to point the finger at Billy when money gets stolen.
After weeks of not receiving any letters from her sweetheart, Jo decides she’s had enough and packs them off back home where the blitz awaits to cause death and destruction.
This is a very easy read and in the end quite a heartwarming one.
It’s full of family and love, misunderstandings and loss.
The characters are well written and I love Jo and Tommy in particular, who I was routing for from the very beginning.
But at the heart of this story, it really is all about family, about the petty arguments that really mean nothing when you’re facing much bigger problems ... like a war!
It’s definitely worth reading if you like books set in this time period or if you just fancy a quick read while you snuggle up with a blanket and a cup of tea!
