Bethnal Green, London beginning of WW2. Their library was hit near the beginning of the Blitz. People were forced to take shelter in the underground rail system. This book brings to life people from all different backgrounds who need help, friendship and support to get through this horrible experience. They became a tighter community through hardship, tragedy and just trying to live. The war brought different social views on things, mostly out of necessity - things were forgiven, overlooked and lived with. People supported one another and brought together people who never would have been otherwise. Horrible what people went through, had to endure, many losing family one way or another. Excellent read. Based on true events.

I received this book free from the author, publisher and NetGalley book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
