I am such a big fan of Pop Williams’ work. She weaves a story which provides insights in to the world then and now. This thought provoking work sheds light on a perspective of the Great War era that is very much unsung. Her characters are well developed and have depth to them in a way that draws you into the text. I can’t wait to visit Oxford one day and see it with a new lens. 

Overall I’m a big fan.
