By Olivia Spooner

0 stars

In 1942, a group of young N.Z. women called the Tuis, arrive in Cairo. They were a welfare division of the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC), composed of female volunteers who served in both Cairo and Italy, being established by Lady Freyberg, the wife of Lieutenant General Freyberg. Their role was established to provide a "home touch" for New Zealand soldiers. An excellent read, particularly for anyone interested in WWII.

The Crystal Butterfly

By Hannah Byron

4 stars

This is the sixth book in the 'Resistance Girl'series. It is based on a young ballerina in Holland during WWII who joins the Dutch Resistance and saves many Jewish lives. She is captured and tortured then sent to a labour camp. Hannah Byron has been very thorough in her research of women in the Dutch Resistance and it is a very harrowing and heroic novel, just like the others she has written in the series.

Bethlehem Road

By Anne Perry

2 stars

A Victorian crime novel. Despite a spate of MPs being murdered on Westminster Bridge following late night parliamentary sittings, it is the Detective's wife and friends who catch the killer at the end, not the large number of Police tasked over a number of months.
