Themes present: anorexia, british cousins, new broken families, war and starvation. Oddly, I found it light and fairly amusing. It's brilliant. Go read it. (  ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 |  Exceptional: gripping, horrifying, funny, convincing and ultimately very, very moving. ( ) whatmeworry | Apr 9, 2022 | As I read this I found myself thinking 'maybe that could have been better' but looking back having finished it I'm not sure any of it could have been. It pulls the reader along by the scruff of the neck and has enormous emotional impact. Very, very impressive. ( ) whatmeworry | Apr 9, 2022 | A compact tale of a displaced US teen's route through a war in England with cousins. She finds home and family only to be scattered across a torn landscape. Well told, but too much a deliberate tear-jerker for my taste. (  ) quondame | Mar 15, 2022 | This is another book that I found compelling enough that I just HAD to keep reading it, but in the end I just didn't like it. It was dark and sad, which is not something I every like. There was a bit oddness to the narration where there was no punctuation regarding things people said and I found that a little off-putting. And finally, there was a weird jump in the story I just couldn't appreciate. I felt it was done poorly and made me more frustrated than anything. I couldn't put it down, but I wish I had never picked it up, honestly. I only gave it 3 stars because it was very compelling and if you don't mind the "Downer" book then you might enjoy it.
