My thoughts
This historical saga had me intrigued from the start. I really believed that I was back in the world of the 1940’s in the faded glamour of Goodwill House. I quickly became engrossed in how the war changed the lives of Sarah and her mother Joanna.
The book did a really good job of portraying the freedoms and opportunities that the start of the second world war brought for women. This was through the different jobs and cultural changes that came about because of the war. I really admired the character of Sarah and her drive and determination to have a career for herself. She had a wise head on her young shoulders. The romance between Sarah and RAF officer Angus was everything that you’d expect from this period, whilst retaining a modern outlook. The open ending left me looking forward to more books in the series.
With thanks to Boldwood Books, Rachel’s Random Resources and NetGalley for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.
