I love the cover of this book, with its bold pops of yellow amidst the dark grey. It's a brilliant representation of the challenging, war-ridden time period and the bright flashes of memory and heart that saw people through.

I was drawn in by the slightly unusual writing style, and the slow build of characters like Drum, Gwen and Carter. Already intrigued, I can't wait to find out how their stories come together, and to get lost in both the history and the humanity of this novel.
