Have read but 🙃

I seem to have gained an appetite for WW2 family dramas/romances this Summer - and Lizzie Lane just does it so well. Sometimes we just need a bit of escapism.
I feel these novels are researched well enough to be realistic storylines.

An excellent book

Another excellent read that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys this author. It draws you into the story and makes it difficult to put down.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great Story

It seemed like a simple story when I first started reading, but then turned into much more than a simple story.
A very good story!

A very good read, upsetting in places, as I lived through those years, and met some of those poor children who were torn away from everything they knew, very sad!

Really good read

It was a bit slow and hard going at the start but it soon took off and I couldn't put it down. Excellent book as always from Mozzie Lane

Absolutely loved this book and couldn’t put it down. A great wartime story with some hard hitting facts that some people must have gone through back then. High recommend.

[Cherrie · Rating 4 out of 5]

What I liked:-

-Drawn into the story and the characters straight away.
-There is a lot to this story and not what I was expecting at all.
-Well researched and seems realistic.
-Last book in the series I think and it was just a lovely saga as always from Lizzie Lane.

What I disliked:-

-It was a bit slow to start.
-Ending was not very satisfying unless this is not the last book in the series and there is another to come to continue the story.

Very good read so far. The only thing is the spelling and grammar is off a bit from English. But it's still a good book to read and I'll be reading the next chapter.
