The Marriage Bureau: The True Story of How Two Matchmakers Arranged Love in Wartime London by Penrose Halson

3.0

A quick, light read that seemed to gloss over a lot of what was happening in London before, during, and after WW2. The writer seemed confused - is this a book about Mary and Heather or the clients, or maybe Ms. Bottle, because it seemed to switch gears several times. The general idea was intriguing and unique, but the writing style (far too many adjectives) was a bit elementary. I feel like I still only got half the story of all the stories even after reading this book.
