I'm not sure why I picked this up, nor why I started reading it, but there was something about it that drew me to it once I'd downloaded it on a freebie day.
Two teenagers are caught up in WW2 in Germany trying to cope in a bombed out village in the cold wet wintertime.
The descriptions of their pitiful lives were very vivid. I felt cold to the bone just reading it and wondering how I would cope being cold and wet all the time, whilst being cosy indoors in this, the second coldest March on record.
The secret was very unexpected and brought a different perspective to the story. It certainly made me think.
I found this to be well written and did enjoy it and was thinking about bits of it much later.
I liked this story, it's a good read.
