An enjoyable and emotional read from Jennie Rooney

Stevie loves Michael, and Michael loves Stevie. But then the war intervenes, and Michael is sent to Africa as a Morse code operator, and Stevie is left behind in 1940s London with a broken heart and an unplanned pregnancy. Meanwhile Michael’s life is also being blitzed as the consequences of combat take their toll. Rooney, who’s only 27, is fresh, funny and wise, balancing the emotional turmoil with a vivid turn of phrase. Hugely enjoyable.
