suze_1624's review
4.0
Very short descriptive headed passages make the book read quite quickly. I loved the descriptions in Blitz ridden London, very evocative. At first a definite 4* but the ending left me a bit confused. however, did really enjoy it.
Leslie is existing in a war-time life without Edward - work, air-raids, memories. But the visions of Edward seem real, and as he emerges from the fugue of recent bereavement, a number of issues don't make sense, making Leslie question both his sanity and Edward's death.
I enjoyed this first part of the book very much. Once Edward travels to Eastbourne and the Belle Tout lighthouse, I did get a bit confused as to who was true, defecting, spy or dupe. There are enough questions left to warrant me heading straight off into book 2!
