Heart wrenching

I love Natasha Lester's books, but this was perhaps my favourite.
Beautifully written with characters so real you become invested in them.

This was very different to other books set in WW2 that I have read and it's made me curious to learn more about the service women of the time.

Beautifully narrated and highly recommended.
