Interesting story about WW2 1944 London. The two main characters, Charlie and Molly, are teenagers that end up alone with no family. Molly comes from money and privilege and Charlie has struggled with money his whole life. Molly's parents have mysteriously disappeared after she returned from the country and she has to figure out how to survive. A local bookshop owner befriends them and takes them under his wing. The owner, Ignatius Oliver, has his own history with the war and is dealing with the mysterious events surrounding his wife's death. This is a story of family, the one you choose vs. the family you were born into. I enjoyed the second half of the book more as it had more action, but this was a very good WW2 mystery.
