Set in London during WWII and the bombing of London by the Germans. This is a wonderful read that brought home the fear and strength of those living through this. Two young girls move from the countryside to London just prior to England entering the war. Their different experiences and paths draw you into their stories. This book moved me to tears - but in a good way, an uplifting way. Especially this passage pertaining to the joy and benefits of reading: "Deeper still was the profound understanding for mankind as she lived in the minds of the characters. Over time, she h ad found such perspectives made her a more patient person, more accepting of others. If everyone had such an appreciation for their fellow man, perhaps things such as war would not exist". Great read!
