elonajay 's review for:
The Last Bookshop in London
by Madeline Martin
I’ve read quite a few novels with events taking place during World War 2, and this one is one of the best in describing it without unnecessary gory details, yet not romanticizing either. It’s not as devastating as when you are forced to house a German officer or relocated from your homeland and your possessions given to the enemy, but England suffered greatly as well. I’ve learned a good deal about how it felt for the Londoners.
I enjoyed the storytelling and storyline, too. I always get a bit annoyed over the redemptive, all-is-well parts, and the scene at the end with all the praise and such is in the realm of possibility, but made me scoff nonetheless. Like yeah, how likely is that? On the other hand, why not? And it did make me feel proud and touched and sentimental, so no complaints, really.
