I thought this was an "E for Effort" sort of book. It is moving sometimes, but mostly I found it strangely flat. So far as I can tell, the history in it is reasonable, if understated.

Portions are written in first person present, which I have always felt is an annoying affectation. It's not for me - I have found books by Jennifer Robson, Jacqueline Winspear and Charles Todd much more engaging.
