Girl with Secrets is a Poignant Coming-of-Age War time Saga set in WW2.
After reading this book, and thinking about my writing my review I have decided that the blurb can explain this book far better than I can.
I am a huge fan of War Time Sagas and this book ticked all the boxes for me, it was Authentic, Atmospheric, Gritty, Engrossing, Poignant, with well Written Characters. The Authors passion for this genre simply shone through, as she made me feel part of the story by creating the right ambiance.
What I loved was that this book was told by Daisy a child living through the trials and tribulations of War Time, the horrors, family dramas, Plenty of secrets, moving areas, being evacuated to the countryside and dealing with the fear that Hitler could invade at any time, all whilst she worries about trying to keep her family safe!
If you love War Time Sagas that are a little bit different, Richly Atmospheric, Heartfelt, Gritty, Highly Compelling Storyline, laced with Danger and Secrets then this book is most definitely the book for you!
As a child I would listen to the adults spinning their colourful stories, as my cousins and I drank pop under the table.
I know the seeds of all my stories come from those far off times that feel like only yesterday. So I would like to say a big heartfelt thank you to all my family and ancestors wherever you are now ... UK, Ireland, France or America, as you've handed down to me the magic and love of story telling.
