The British Booksellers by Kristy Cambron is a great dual timeline historical fiction that I really enjoyed.

I have read several books by Ms. Cambron, and I have enjoyed every one of them. This is a great addition.

There is history, mystery, suspense, emotion, forgiveness, heart, and it really kept my interest throughout. The author always does a great job at weaving together fiction and fact. The pacing also was just perfect and kept me engaged as we followed along to the satisfying end. A memorable read.

4/5 stars

Kristy Cambron, yes please! Have I read all of her books? Yes, that's a yes. Did I enjoy this book? Yep. Was it exactly what I wanted it to be? Another yes there. I love historical fiction, and I appreciate the wholesomeness in Kristy's books. She is an author that I can always recommend to anyone because I know that it will be a great read, but also clean.

This is the story of class differences, a boy, a girl and war - and books. For large portions of the early stages of the book I was straining to keep track of who was who and what was actually going on. I am still unclear as to the cause of the major conflict; the reason given seemed just too simplistic but perhaps I was hoping for more and missed the point.

The chapters flip between 1914 and 1940. The 1940s chapters highlighted the Coventry Blitz and the story was woven around this real life event. Characters Charlotte, Amos, and Will were the focal points but I enjoyed the German soldier who liked horses and how his role played out at the end.

I do appreciate the early opportunity to read and review; thank you NetGalley.

Everything I have ever read by Kristy Cambron is always a treat and of the highest quality, and this book was no different. What sets her apart is her breathtaking prose, her excellent characterization, and the quality of her historical accuracy. Combine that with books, lost love, and redemption during WWII Blitz and you are swept away yet glued to your seat! Absolutely wonderful! I recommend all her books, but I believe this one is my favorite and her best yet! TEN STARS!
In short, this was a fantastic WWII novel that is unputdownable. Authentic details and superb writing raise this book above the rest. I really enjoyed it and will read anything this author decides to write!
