I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have been meaning to read this authors work for a while now and as someone who enjoys emotional stories set around animals and love to learn as much as I can about our history especially ww2, this was a great pick.
This book is an emotional tale of love and bravery. A story of war, and sacrifice. Told from the point of view of Beau who was found on the streets and adopted by a lovely family and their cat Mabel just before WW2. The story sees the war and the effect of the blitz on these two animals and their neighbouring pigeon, Bomber. When the two children, Wilf and Penny are evacuated to the country, the pets stick around and adapt to life in the blitz… until tragedy strikes and the unlikely trio go on their own epic journey to find their loved ones.
A harrowing and emotional tale that has left me with tears more than once. Beautiful!
