Historical tale from the Ration Book series
This book is a further instalment of the Ration Book series.

In order to support herself, she takes in a lodger Sergeant Archie McIntosh and Cathy's life takes some turns that give her hope for the life she dreamed of.
Sergeant McIntosh is working in a bomb disposal division and risks his life on a daily basis.
This book is just as good as the others in this series and Jean Fullerton is clearly Queen of the East End of World War Two.
The story is compulsive reading and the characters are delightfully illustrated.
Highly recommended to fans of historical fiction.
Thanks to the author and publisher in allowing me to read in return for a review.
