A beautifully written story about two women in Coventry the night it was bombed during WWII who have a connection going back to WWI. The detail is extraordinary, and really brings to life how horrible life was in England during the air raids in that war. It really puts things into perspective, especially with everyone saying how awful 2016 has been. Compared to 1943, it's pretty much a walk in the park. What a gorgeous book.
