This book gives a fairly good idea of the feelings and day-to-day struggles among average British citizens during WWII. This was, of course, Vol. II of a two-part series, and, having read Vol. I as an introduction, it was inevitable to get caught up in the lives of these people and to feel their losses. A typical Delderfield-style book.
The only drawbacks were the misspellings and bad editing by the publisher which was unexpected. However, it IS a mass market paperback so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised.
