Helen Yendall tells a fine story here and finds some more unusual aspects of World War II:  a bank that moves to the countryside, a main character who is half German and some detail about British people receiving Kindertransport children.  The characters are well-drawn. Main character Maggie is offered some important secret work because of her fluent German.  I would love to know more abut that.
