I was so happy that I got approved for this book. The book started out great but then slowed down greatly. I was disappointed by the end. I did give this 2.5 stars.
The book is suppose to be about the World War Two and does have mention the war a little.
The book starts out as a little girl is found a sleep in a bus. This little girl is named Pamela and she was put on the bus some elderly ladies as Southhampton is being bombed. She thought her mom was on the other bus. Ellen is the one who finds her and is trying to find who she belongs too. Ellen is a young women who is helping these refugees on her first anniversary. They do try to find her family but keep her until they can be found.
Then this story talks about Ellen's life before her marriage. This is where the story slows way down. I did enjoy reading about Ellen's early life but it took up almost half the book.
Then it goes back to the present but three years later. They still have Pamela but for how long. After somethings happen it goes into letters being written and then Ellen finds another girl, Penny, to take care of.
I just found that this book was to slow paced for me. It was also based in England. I just had a hard time connecting. What happens to Pamela? Who is Penny? Why does Ellen feel like she needs to raise these girls?
I was hoping for a good historical fiction book and this one just didn't do it me.
