The London Restoration by Rachel McMillan
4.0
The London Restoration is a WWII historical fiction focusing on a couple who have both returned from war to their home in London. The characters are trying to come back together after the war separated and changed each other in very fundamental ways.
This is a beautiful story about two people who love each other but no longer know each other as war tore their lives apart. The London Restoration is a love story at first glance, but at its core is a spy mystery with some seriously unexpected twists.
I loved the characters and the setting immensely, and really enjoyed the writing style, though I did feel like the beginning part of the book was a slow build. I tend to think this a lot in the spy genre, though, because almost all plots based on secret government work require a lot of secrecy and development.
Would easily recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. Fun to read and kept me engaged.
