charlieb 's review for:
The Metal Heart: A Novel of WWII
by Caroline Lea
An atmospheric tale of twin sisters scratching a life on an isolated island in the Orkneys in the middle of WW2. Life changes when plans are made to house 1000 Italian pow's and the island is no longer deserted. Many complex themes, creating beauty in middle of war, a love story, grief, dealing with traumatic events and having a healthy fear for the ocean. Lots of twists and turns lead to a satisfying but bittersweet ending.
