This was a Goodreads giveaway book that I received.
I had no knowledge of any events like the child 'relocation' during the war. The storyline was very good. Like the chapters being from the individual characters' point of view. Premise is English/Welsh children were being sent out of harms way to America/Canada via oceanliner. The ship was hit by U-boat torpedoes and sunk. The book follows three of the survivors intertwined lives. Pippa, Arthur and Dora. I will say that I was tiring of the whininess of Arthur - how much deception/lies are you willing to endure for a shred of attention, affection (sex) rather than facing the truth? The ending seemed a bit rushed, but overall I enjoyed the writing and the story!
