A delightful, charming and easy read. Even as someone who generally avoids books related to either WW1 or WW2, I really enjoyed this book. Because of the way the book was made up out of letters and telegrams, it was very quick to get through. It provided me with a cosy feeling while also getting insight in the way that people had to rebuild their lives and communities after the war. Would definitely recommend!
