Review written by Maggie Perkovic and read live on the bookshow 7th May 2015
This is a tale set towards the
end
of the war where we meet Ginnie and Shirley Travis who live with
mum
and dad in their home in East London and when Shirley becomes
pregnant
they go to stay with Aunt Avril in Shropshire. Ginnie is the quiet
one who helps her
dad in their furniture shop while Shirley has always been
the high spirited one
who has lots of boyfriends and enjoys flirting. The
Americans staioned nearby
help to brighten up their enforced absence but when
their dad is killd while
Fire Watching Ginnie has to return home to save the
business. This a very
readable book but being a bit of a nerd I felt there
were some facts a bit out
of kilter concerning life in the War however the
story rattles along with page
turning events so I could say this is a good
read with a few debatable inclusions.
