review 1: Not a bad Christmas book, but not exactly gripping. It had slow moments. I liked the characters, though Prue annoyed me at times. Loved that the main character was called Adelaide, as that's my nieces name and you don't see it in print to often. Felt like some emotional moments, like the shop being bombed was under played and should have been more dramatic. First time reading Katie Flynn, I wouldn't buy her books but would read another one of hers, if it came my way.
review 2: A charming tale of two totally different sisters during the war.The story charts the lives of Prue and Addy Fairweather.Prue is the adorable, helpful blonde child and Addy is dark and mischievous and though works hard to please their mother is never appreciated. When a childhood accident ... moreleaves both Prue and Addy injured, Prue to the point she is unable to walk both children are considered vulnerable and shipped out to the country when war breaks out but Addy cannot forget the kind gentleman who helped them when the accident happened.Years pass, life goes on and Addy and Prue grow up and even as adults their natures are diametrically opposite, Addy through a chance meeting ends up falling for Giles Frobisher, the long lost benefactor who helped them as children while Prue ends up playing the field and adoring the attention of many suitors but will war allow Addy to keep Giles in her life and even Prue faces an uncertain future as her thoughtless flirtatious behaviour has dire consequences.Well written with a host of other characters that provide an essential backdrop and small side stories to offset the drama of Prue and Addy.A lovely novel dealing with war, love, loss, heartbreak and eventual happiness.Well worth reading. less
