The Safest Place in London

A Goodreads win: I have always been enthralled with stories and books set in the UK during WWII, particularly London, and when I won this one I was excited to revisit one of my favourite eras. It did not disappoint. Two women, two children sheltering in the same Underground Station during a savage bombing attack. Only one woman and child survived.

The writing was amazing, I could feel the fear of the non-Londoner who had never experienced an air raid before, and I could also feel the calm inevitable acceptance of the old-hand who regretted the necessity of leaving her chip tea behind.

The story that followed was intriguing and enjoyable, I wont give away any spoilers here, but it was a satisfying read.
