Thank you @NetGalley and @GrandCentralPub for providing me with an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
David Baldacci pulls readers directly into The Blitz in London during WWII with vivid imagery of the effects of the war on the mind, body, spirit, and surroundings. Balancing accurate details of what the bombings in London felt and looked like, Baldacci brings readers three characters from different academic and socioeconomic backgrounds: strangers in a time of war.
I love historical fiction and books set in London, so this book appealed to me from the start. The hardships and celebrations of the main characters are complex, distressing, and inspiring. The city of London itself deserves to be recognized as an important character in the book, experiencing great pain and showing its strength in a dark and uncertain times.
Overall, the message of connection, hope, and resilience shines in Strangers In Time.
