I recently discovered this book, sitting on my kindle unread so my apologies for the very late review. I am so sorry I left this book for so long as it was simply brilliant, A true story based in Blackburn of one woman’s struggle with life in the war years.

Biography of Margaret, born 1926. A lively, intelligent child who grew up in Blackburn, Lancashire, going through the war years, the people she knew, her achievements and disappointments. It was interesting and gritty but I would have loved to have known what happened to the people she mentioned, especially her three brothers. A big disappointment that her life after her marriage was very briefly covered in a short epilogue, which is a shame as I’m sure it would have been equally fascinating.

Absolutely brilliant, loved this book from the very start. A lovely heartwarming tale with great characters and a nice writing style. I'm a big fan of anything wartime related and this didn't disappoint. Highly recommended for anyone who loves an emotional wartime read.

A very interesting read and one that was very well written. It is not often that i would read non fiction, but so glad that i did. A very heartwarming book that deserves it's five stars and one in which i can highly recommend.

My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy.
