Every time I pick up one of these books I have to make sure I have plenty uninterrupted reading time because once I start I can't put them down. It's about real people in the East End of London during the war years and the trials and tribulations they endure.
This is book five in the series but you can read it as a stand alone, however, I would suggest reading them in order for more enjoyment.
Cathy, is the main person in this one and it's a great addition to the series. In this one, we see her growing in confidence and standing up for herself more, especially against Violet, her mother-in-law.
Oh my word, Violet has to be one of the most unpleasant, horrible, nasty women I've ever read about. She's such a well drawn character that you actually despise her and long for her to get her comeuppance.
Queenie, Cathy's grandmother, is one of my favorite characters but we didn't get to see much of her in this book.
There is quite a bit about the Bomb Disposal Squad and how they dealt with their work and the toll it took on some of the men. I found it very interesting and informative.
The next book in the series is the last I believe and I for one will be sad to end my time with the Brogans.
