This wasn't too bad. I deducted one star because it's written in the present tense. This is history! Past tense, please.
It was interesting and saddening to learn about the bombing destruction of Coventry, but I thought Humphreys cheapened it a little by throwing in some tawdriness that could easily have been left out. Also, I felt there wasn't enough depth for such a heavy story.

Couple of good quotes:

"When a building is lost, everything that happened within its walls is lost as well."

"It was as though love and sex was a room she had once entered, and now she had simply left that room, turned off the lights, and gently closed the door. It didn't feel as though she had given up anything. It had given her up."
