The War I Finally Won
by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
It is very difficult for me to find the right words to portray my feelings towards these two books: The War That Saved My Life and its sequel, The War I Finally Won. Originally published for ‘young readers’, the minute you read the first page you will understand this story is meant for any set of eyes in any stage of life. I cannot stress enough how beneficial, endearing and earth shattering these stories are. You absolutely need these books occupying your shelves.
The War I Finally Won is the perfect sequel and ending to Ada’s journey. The war continues on and things seem to be getting worse for London. While the outside world seems to be falling apart, Ada’s is slowly piecing together. Susan received approval, as her legal guardian, to move forward with corrective surgery to fix Ada’s club foot. Now Ada can walk as a normal person without cutting and tearing her foot with each step.
One morning, a young girl named Ruth with dark hair and eyes is dropped off and told she is to live with Jamie, Ada and Susan while Susan tutors her in math. The catch? She is German. Skeptical that Ruth may be a spy, Ada’s defense mechanism’s are in full throttle , as her trust for anybody is extremely scarce.
As the war prolongs and Ruth becomes a tenant of their home, we begin to see Ada come out on top of her own war. Showing us what it takes to survive among her war-ridden mind and a disheveled London, she is the perfect example of grit and hard work. She may not be perfect, nor is Jamie or Susan, but their life together is worth fighting for.
