Crooked Heart by Lissa Evans

4.0

What a delight. Great story with wonderful characters — especially the precocious 10-year-old Noel. I rather dislike precocious child narrators, but this is much different. Noel’s intellectual sophistication and observations are part of the story, part of the fun. (And he’s not the narrator.) It’s captivating, heartwarming, but both the London blitz and the humor save it from sentimentality. Better to just read the book than to read the synopses ahead of it.
