Nearly gave up on this one but luckily it turned around and eventually I enjoyed it.
A great story about life during the waterfront workers strike of 1951. I enjoyed it more than I expected to.
Great characters made this an engaging read.
Surprisingly I really enjoyed this as not my usual read. My Sister and I watched a “Christmas at Highclere Castle” episode and so I was keen to read this and quite enjoyed it.
This book was from our school library so not perhaps my usual pick. I found the voice supposedly of a 26yr old hard to believe seemingly more of an older woman to me. It was hard going and I wouldn’t really recommend it. Perhaps the clue may have been in that I am only the second borrower in 6 years.
You know that a book is good when you find yourself dwelling on the storyline while doing mundane tasks. Great story with believable characters which I loved. I will be looking for more from this author.
A charming book - not a page turner but enjoyable none the less.
Absolutely loved it - so much so that Im on the hunt for more from this author.
