Recenzii
“Told through alternating narrators, this fascinating World War II novel will hook readers until the very end.” Starred Review
“There’s a constant sense of urgency that, combined with descriptive writing and a tightly woven plot, sets a fast pace … Each account portrays a frightened young person caught in circumstances beyond their control. The story vividly captures the devastating impact of a single bombing, not only on those directly involved but also on the town and the next generation left shell-shocked in its wake.”
