22 Britannia Road by Amanda Hodgkinson

"What is your occupation? Housewife or housekeeper?" "Survivor."
That is the essence of this 1940s period piece about a Polish family that survived WW2 in very different ways. As they begin a new life together in post-war England, I think the author creates a believable story about a husband and wife trying to overcome the damage of war and failure. Overall, she captures subtle, gradual cracks that lead to an inevitable and necessary crisis.
