I’m so disappointed to say I didn’t enjoy this book. I liked the first of this author’s books I read (The Berlin Girl) and I hoped that this would be more of the same. Unfortunately I found this one difficult to get in to, as the pace was quite slow. I enjoyed her portrayal of life in London during the Blitz but I struggled to connect with any of the characters and ultimately found the story quite unbelievable. This one just wasn’t for me.
