This book started slowly for me. In fact, I found the book's central theme (revealed in the first few pages) tedious at first. I always give a book at least 50 pages before I throw in the towel. With this book, it took me over 100 pages before I was hooked, then I couldn't put it down. It is as much an homage to the brave people who survived the London Blitz and the Second World War as it is a portrait of a young woman and an English family in the first half of the twentieth century.
