The Forgotten Village by Lorna Cook

4.0

This is a great little read! I’ve really enjoyed it as light, escapist romance with a (dual timeline) historical interest too. It was partly based on the true story of Tyneham village in Dorset which was taken over by the British army during WW2. I had no idea nine British villages were recommissioned so it was also very interesting & educational. I could pick holes here and there but I won’t because it’s great story telling & it’s a debut novel too. A very absorbing story which I found hard very to put down from the very first page. I look forward to reading more by Lorna Cook.
