Thank you Jessica - I'm so pleased you enjoyed the book. I very much wanted to write a book about wartime survival, and how a woman's war would be viewed with different standards from that of a man's war so from the beginning I wanted Ada to be a person of her time and gender. I had the last page in my head almost before I wrote the novel - the tricky bit was how to reach that ending so, yes, I guess I wanted her never to stand a chance... the 1940s was a brutal time for women.

Thank you, Mary, for such a compelling novel. I'm hosting my book club this coming Monday and having a difficult time finding existing questions and discussion points for the book. Can you suggest some web site I can explore or even better do you have a provide me with questions and discussions? Thank you in advance for your help. LaRee
