A review by infosifter
The Avenue Goes to War by R.F. Delderfield

4.0

A continuation of the stories told in The Dreaming Suburb, The book describes how the characters fared through World War II. The story of the blitz is often told in an aggressively patriotic style, but this is more realistic, those still a tribute to human resilience. There is adventure, tragedy, joy, and occasional comedy. I didn't feel overly attached to any of the characters because of the episodic style of the book, but definitely cared enough about them to want to know what would happen next.
