5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming, funny and very real, January 14, 2001

This review is from: Lizzie (Audio Cassette)

An excellent book about people you can really grow to like. By the end of the book, I felt I knew Lizzie and her kids and the rest of the characters, and I cared about what happened to them. Granted, there were times when I wanted to tell her to leave that *(@&$( husband of hers<G> but the story was so gently told that I could understand why she did what she did.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great novel set during the turbulant years of WW2, July 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lizzie (Audio Cassette)

Lizzie had always been a quiet prim girl, but when she meets Bobby she gets more than she bargains for, for Bobby lives only for the dog and horse racing. Never the less, Lizzie stands by her man as WW2 erupts all around her in the back streets of London. Lizzie has some tough times and tougher decisions ahead of her, especially when her sister dumps her kids on the kindly Lizzie, and it's a long time before her and her beloved Bobby can settle down to a peacefull life of thier own. A great book full of the community spirit which helped Londoners through the terrible time of the Blitz.
