I think my review of this book has definitely been influenced by having just read two long, heavy (physically and emotionally) books over the last month. This book starts out on a lighter note- it intertwines a fairytale with a coming of age story and a mystery which kept me reading. A little slow at parts but overall an enjoyable read.

A slow start led me to think I wouldn't get into this. But I was pleasantly surprised by how invested I got towards the end.

Thought provoking book about a childhood marked by the trauma of being relocated out of war torn London. I enjoyed the characters in this book and the history of the children of WW2 in London and the countryside.
