A cute postwar British novel about trying to make something grow in literal ruins. Tip and Lovejoy are fun protagonists and Olivia makes for a great counterpoint to the other adults. Definitely ends conveniently, but that feels very of the time. 

Vincent also gave me so much stress lmao, though I'd love to eat at his restaurant
