A review by jovvijo
Christine by Elizabeth von Arnim
5.0
Christine's letters are absolutely lively and full of hope as she writes to her mum back in England about her adventures in Germany, determined to become the best violinist she can be and make it out there in the world.
Only the the first World War is starting.
And life is not kind when you are in the wrong country at the wrong time...
I do love that she kept her heart and her cheer almost entirely throughout and though we know she died (Not a spoiler we're offered this right in the very beginning), it just makes each letter more poignant and heartfelt!
Wonderful book for those who want to read something set in world war one, by someone who lived through it themselves.
