Did you also read Back Home by the same author? It’s also set during WW2 and absolutely wonderful. Please give it a go if you haven’t as I highly recommend it ?

I have two girls, now 17 and 20. It doesn’t matter what you read, just so you read. My ex-husband use to read Poe when they were babies. My 17 year old loved Shakespeare – which is horrible to read every night, lol – but now she still loves his works. My oldest will read everything!
