Interesting start, to begin at the end of the war and it is intriguing to focus on ‘what happened next...’ to the young refugees.
I like how the chapters are structured around typical English foods and how these are seamless intigrated into the writing.
A good sense of mystery is built up as to why the protagonist wants to arrive at her chosen destination and what will unfold once she arrives.
There are references to what happened to her along the way, acknowledging the horrors of WW2 without lingering on the gruesomeness of it all.
The steeliness to her character is enjoyable to read, suggests this is how she has survived thus far and sparks curiosity to keep reading and know how her story will unfold.
The kind of book you can easily gobble up in one sitting.
