A nice story about a young girl that felt so real, I often wondered if I was reading a fictional version of an actual person. I admired Ellie's realistic, no-nonsense attitude and that she didn't shy away from being exactly who she wanted to be, not caring what other people thought. Jack and Ellie seem a better fit to me overall, but I do like Greg. I'm not sure Ellie will be the right fit for him in the long run, but I hope she'd bring her level of practicality to the posh side of life. I struggle with the idea that the two of them actually love each other. Greg claimed to love her after two meetings, which seemed more like he was just doing his duty before the war. Her parents relationship was very odd and I didn't quite understand why the mother suddenly left after 25 years except as a plot point for Mrs. B and other items along the way.

Netgalley provided this book free in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved reading this book a different side to the idea of war.To find out a family member is a traitor is hard but the family rally around and are prepared for what ever comes their way.Ellie is a young girl who loves to fly and with the coming war knows she won't be able to continue.Her two brothers are in the R A F and on a visit home her brother Neil brings a friend who takes a liking to Ellie.As time passes Ellie decides to join the WAAF'S she leaves home for her new life and soon settles in enjoying her new life.I won't give the plot away but i would recommend you read this book well worth 5*

My first foray into this author's writing and it's not likely to be my last. Engaging characters together with an enjoyable cast.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book about a young woman and her family in pre-World War II England. Their life and trails were intriguing and engaging. I was disappointed to find out that this was a “to be continued”but and not a stand alone saga. But in spite of that, it was enjoyable.
