Alive and Kicking Author:Beryl Kingston Set in Southeast London during World War I, this is the tale of the resilience of one young woman forced into keeping her family afloat after the death of their parents. By the author of "Two Silver Crosses".
The heroine, Rose Boniface, is a very empathetic character and the storyline is quite compelling. I did not have many expectations of this book, and found myself very pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable and involving this book was.
