A review by eastoflaura
22 Britannia Road by Amanda Hodgkinson

3.0

For a book who's sole purpose to is to feel something for characters who have been through the most horrific part of war only to find re-building their lives afterwards is just as hard, I actually felt the characters weren't drawn in particular depth. Its one thing talk about how these characters can't put the past behind them, but novels are most riveting when the author can do the showing instead of the telling. That said, though, I did enjoy the novel's structure that flipped back and forth from during the war to after it was over, and how that especially made the story's big reveal all the more poignant.
