Even though it was a quick read, I have read other quick reads which have put more detail in. I felt like we were jumping about a lot, and you would think something would be important, and then it would just never come to anything. I think the story of the book was good, there just wasn't enough of it to make it interesting. I think I would have enjoyed it a lot better if it was a properly fleshed out novel, and not a novel storyline squished into a short story. Perhaps it was a little ambitious to cover the entire war in so few pages. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

On 3rd September 1939, Amy Browning decided to start writing a diary. It was a momentous day for so many reasons: it was Amy's 18th birthday; her sister had just given birth to a baby boy; and on the radio it was announced that Great Britain was now at war with Germany. For a while, life didn't change very much for Amy. Living with her family in Opal Street, Liverpool, Amy and her friend both got jobs at a factory, and spent their free time looking round the shops, or watching the ships being loaded at the docks. But as the months went by, things began to change. The bombing started, and Amy's fears grew for her brother, fighting in France, her boyfriend had joined the RAF and they all now lived in a dangerous world. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Bearing the above in mind, I gave this 2 stars. It’s a sweet enough little tale of life in Liverpool during the Second World War, but perhaps a little too saccharine. What little drama there is in the main character, Amy’s life is really quite, well, undramatic. The story seems to lack any real plot, but just meanders through several years in a little over 100 pages. If this were the first book a non-reader tried, I can’t see them being in a hurry to rush back for more, and I certainly won’t be reading any more of this author’s work. ( )
