Quotes from the episode:

“Once you have read a book you care about, some part is always with you.”

Louis L'amour

“I am a part of everything I have read”

Theodore Roosevelt

A compelling and engaging historical fiction novel set in London during World War ll. We loved getting to discuss the gritty and compassionate characters and glean wonderful quotes from them. If you want a front row seat to living in London during years of bombs and rationing we highly recommend giving this book a read.
