[Elaine]

It was an ok read. Interesting enough to want to finish it

[Mandy Setterfield]

Brave people. Would have liked it to be a little longer with a bit more detail.

[Al Lock]

Not the easiest read, but certainly worth reading. Short, it tells a story of life during the Second World War of a woman on the run, in hiding.
