Grace Bennett left Drayton to start a new life in London on the brink of War II. While her friends soon leave London to serve in the military, Grace builds her life on the home front. The Primrose Hill Books is her retreat to survive the bombings of London and her work with the ARP. Never much of a reader, the gift of a book from a friend and her job in the bookstore changes her life. As she escapes the horrors of London reading books, she soon sees a need to read to others to soothe their pain and sorrow. Martin writes a realistic, in-depth look at the sacrifices of Londoners to survive in WWII. A touching story of the bond between friends and strangers in one of the most horrible times in history. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
