V for Victory by Lissa Evans
4.0
‘V for Victory’ is the much-anticipated sequel to ‘Crooked Heart’ by Lissa Evans. We follow Vee and Noel from the first book and their experience of living in London towards the end of WW2. In this novel we also follow Winnie, an air raid warden, whose twin sister Avril has started writing war fiction which seems to be a crude caricature of Winnie’s own life.
I found this just as readable as ‘Crooked Heart’. Lissa Evans has a lovely gift for talking about the most mundane aspects of a persons life but making it seem so interesting. These are not action-packed books but rather character explorations and studies of relationships. With another excellent novel she’s really cementing herself as a go-to author for historical British fiction. There’s no doubt I’ll be picking up her next text, she always delivers a heartwarming story.
✨Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the eARC ✨
