4.0 out of 5 stars
A classic novel with laughter,tears and joy.,
By Emily (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Corner House Girls (Paperback)
When I first picked up the book, I was not expecting the hold the novel would have on me. I finished the book with in two days,it is 400 words strong and each one perfectly describes the real feelings of people in London just before the out break of WW2. The relationships that are built up between the 6 main characters and their families and lovers really draw the reader in and make the book come alive. References to real life stories and events just increase the hold that the story has on the reader. As the book twists and turns its was to the climax, it is sorely tempting to read well into the dead of night. The language used really transports you to inner London, the cockney ryhming slang adds to the effect. The tone is exactly right,understanding of the emotions people felt but light and funny when needed and again serious when appropriate. The feelings this book provokes are amazing and you will find yourself hankering for the sequal.
