Elizabeth@Silver's Reviews - DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!!
We meet three wonderful characters in 1944 London.

Charlie Matters who wears tattered clothes, too-small shoes, who lies to his grandmother, who quit school, and steals things.

Molly Wakefield who just returned home to her well-to-do neighborhood after being with a family in the country to avoid the London bombings.

Ignatius Oliver who befriends both Charlie and Molly, who owns a bookstore, and who Charlie stole from.

How do they become friends? What brings them together?

These three unlikely characters were brought together because they all needed someone.

The book focused on friendship and people taking care of eachmore

WWII-set, character-driven historical fiction about found family
"This was their story. Three people standing together against all the world could hurl at them."
Set in London in 1944, this historical fiction novel tells the story of a bereaved bookshop owner and two teenagers from very different backgrounds who have lost everything to the second world war.

"But if I hadn't happened upon Charlie, and we both hadn't found you, I'm not sure what would have become of us."
A character-driven story about found family and the spirit of family, it brims with historical detail seamlessly woven into the narrative. I was not at first convinced I'd like this book. It took 68 pages formore
