A short novel, a fast read -- the style is a little twee for my taste, and it's got a sitcom ending, but it has some good things in it too -- the courage of the British people under attack; the friendships that sustain women; the decency and responsibility of their men. I would recommend it, especially to a YA reader; it might give them a feeling as to what their great grandparents went through, what their values were and what it took to survive.
