The Dover Cafe at War by Ginny Bell
4.0
The Dover Cafe at War is set in mist of ww2, on Castle street there's the Dover Cafe where this sort is set. I love historical fiction so i knew I would enjoy this book.
In the opening of the book, it's 1929 and 16 year old Marianne her life changes forever when she has her son Donny. Life goes on and 10 years later war is announced and life changes once again.
The book was so heartwarming, dealing with family and life during the war. I loved all of the characters and really enjoyed the dynamic of everyone in the neighbourhood. The book touched on subjects like, illegitimacy, homophobia and illiteracy, I found that it really helped you to understand just how different life was at this time and how it could take its toll on people.
I loved the personal touch at the end of the book, talking about how the author was connected to Dover and the recipe looked very interesting, I might be giving that at go.
I would definitely recommend this book to any Historical fiction fan, I can't wait for the next book in the series to be released.
Thank you to #NetGalley and Bonnier Books UK for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
