Lovely story within a story of a girl's love of her cat and the love between a boy and his grandmother, ser against the backdrop of the preparation for the D-day landings in southern England.

I enjoyed this one. An engaging tale of like in Southern England in the months before D-Day. Families forced off their land, cats gone missing, friends made and lost.
It all works out in the end in a most charming way.

Looking back, I think this book is what kickstarted my interest in history!! - I first read it when I was 11 because I remember sitting reading it on the balcony of the hotel in Disney Florida when my mum was pregnant with Lou so it will have been October 2011 and I don’t think that I would have been exposed to much other ways of learn about history before high school.
I still think about this book and it’s still on my bookshelf, holds a special place in my heart
