sardine164 's review for:

A Rose for the ANZAC Boys by Jackie French

5.0

Although written for young adults, I found this a very powerful book. The story is fictional, but it is drawn from real experiences of men and women on the Western front in World War I. It can be difficult to read at times; 'grim', as the author herself describes it. Her writing is sensitive and honest, never maudlin.
Lest we forget.
