Summary
A family pulled apart. A love silenced....
For as long as Briony Valentine can remember she has been soft on Eddie, the boy next door. But their chance of romance is stifled when the Luftwaffe begin dropping bombs on the midlands. Eddie is called up to serve, as is Briony's father, tearing her world apart. As the telegrams arrive, all she can do is pray.
Despite past disagreements, Briony's affluent grandparents open their doors to the three Valentine children, offering them the safety of Cornwall - far from the bombs and far from the only world they've ever known.Will the Valentine family ever unite, and will Briony ever see Eddie again?
A moving, compelling and wonderfully authentic portrait of family life amongst the perils of WWII, from a much-loved author.

A great....
storyline with some lovely characters and antics within the book. The narrator was very good at using different voices for the characters.

Good story
This was a good story telling the journey of one family through the war. Sometimes it felt like it was a bit amateur in the writing but overall not bad. However, the narrator was terrible. Very much like a schoolchild reading aloud. Long pauses in the wrong places. I almost gave up listening after the first chapter or so but persevered and even with the bad narration I was glad I continued to the end.

A Very Touching story of life in WW2.
So much happens in this story that could actually have really happened in WW2. It is sad in places and happy in other places. It will bring you to tears and make you laugh with joy. I have read a lot of Rosie Goodwin's books and this is one of her best.
