I enjoyed this book a lot. Having grown up in London, it reminded me of "stories" told to me by others who had lived through the Blitz. Some stories were only a sentence long, as the horror was still fresh in minds, no matter how much time had passed.

The part about St Paul's Cathedral still standing moved me to near tears. I could picture it so clearly.

This book touches on, but doesn't dwell on, the shortages, or the waste but, most importantly, does celebrate the fortitude and resilience of the British people.
