“I love novels set in the Home Front during World War II (as readers of my Staff Faves know) and this one, which takes place (partially) during the London Blitz, has become one of my favorites. Kate Morton writes excellent historical novels whose plots are driven by a mystery from the past that characters in the present are compelled to solve, and this is one of her best. In this one, a daughter tries to solve the mystery of why her mother killed a man from her past some 20 years after the Blitz. The twists in the mystery are wonderful, but it is the depth of the development of her characters and the completeness of the readers’ experience of living in this harrowing time that make this a truly satisfying read.” – Andy, The Literary Duck, UO Duck Store.
