I really loved this historical fiction books, it's not my usual genre, it was beautifully written, I actually wanted the book because I was born in belfast but left at a young age, so got curious about it and glad I read it
Emma was so brave and unwilling to settle, I found reading about the children being evacuated was a struggle and a sad bit in the book.
The story followed two girls during the war in Belfast, Emma is a free spirit and starts a relationship with a girl she works with which is frowned upon, and she has to juggle this while also going through her own life up and downs
Both girls are exploring and searching to try and find a sense of identity
But with the shadow of war hanging over everything will they ever find happiness
The book goes through the lives of what women experience struggling to survive when the world is changing around them.
It's one of those books that makes you think about what it was like in those years for women and consider yourself lucky.
