Easily became one of my favourite books! I loved the exploration of a character whom the main character never even meets, and learning more about the German occupation of the British Isles.

fast-paced

4.5

I will admit I have a soft spot for epistolary story-telling, but this was excellent! I love how even though there is a focus on the tragedies and horrors of war, it's also about the healing and reconnection afterwards.
