an emotional yet hopeful coming of age story set in a rural british town during the second world war. a story of finding friends, finding family, losing hope and then finding it again.

putting this review out there after my reread last year- this is genuinely one of the most memorable books i've ever read. i picked it up one day mistaking it for another book, starting reading it, and liked it quite a bit. i think it's just very heartwarming overall - one of the most incredible books i've ever read.
