V for Victory by Lissa Evans
4.0
London 1944. The Luftwaffe may have been defeated but now the capital shudders under the impact of V2 rockets arriving without warning. Other, more personal, cataclysms also threaten the stability of young Noel and the residents of Green Shutters.
Having become quite attached to Noel - now a strapping 15 year old - and with the well-researched WW2 setting I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially air raid warden Winnie's stoicism in the face of the terrifying V2s.
Evans neatly draws together the stories of Noel, Vee, and the indomitable Mattie. Best read in short succession from both Crooked Heart and Old Baggage.
