friendly_neighborhood_grandma's review against another edition

slow-paced

4.25

The novel is really rich and beautiful, the narrator imojen church was very good in my opinion. 
It shows the side of wealthy people in ww2, usually storiea are about brave poor and suffering people, not the people who did not envolve themselves in the war. 
I enjoyed it.
