Perhaps it is because I read books 2-4 of the series consecutively but I got a bit bored with the "review" of storyline that was written in by the time I reached TWSA. Otherwise I really enjoyed the book as well as how the the series was "wrapped up." There were bits and pieces relating to Judaism/kosher that I felt Grainger was inaccurate or scant about (for a reader with no knowledge about keeping kosher). I have come to enjoy Grainger's writing as well as her approach to WWII from a different perspective. Until reading the Robinswood series, I had not read much about the Irish during WWII.
