This is an astoundingly good debut novel. It is the story of Nora Lynch's life as an evacuee to the country from London at the onset of WWII in counterpoint with her life fifty years later. The memories of her life center around her relationship with Grace, the daughter of her surrogate family in Kent during the evacuation. The challenges inherent with deception color Nora's life as she faces end-of-life issues and lead, ultimately, to grace. I hope to read more by this talented new author.

Initially I found this novel a totally engrossing story of a young girl evacuee in war-torn Britain. However, as the narrative unfolds, it bacomes more and more disturbing, but despite leaving one feeling depressed, it is a well-written saga.
