A review by ablotial
22 Britannia Road by Amanda Hodgkinson
4.0
I really loved this book. I keep thinking to give it 5 stars, then bumping it back down to 4. Tough choice. I loved the story, I loved the characters, especially Aurek, though I had trouble liking Janusz at first. And I loved that this is not your typical wartime love story... it is so much more than that. My heart broke for all the characters. The ending left me feeling that something wasn't quite right, though. I almost wish .
I found myself yelling out loud at the bitchy next door neighbor who didn't know the whole story but formed opinions and treated Silvana like crap anyway. And at Janusz for how he treated Aurek when he felt the boy wasn't behaving normally.
War changes people.
I have so many more feelings about this book but am unable to write them down. I think I'll want to read it again some day and see if I feel the same way about it.
