World War II drama continues

This is the third book in a series of five about the Campion family during WWII. I read volumes one and five as well as this one. The author is good about bringing the reader up to date regarding events that took place is a previous book. The Campion family contains very sympathetic characters, but Vi and her son Charlie had no redeeming qualities which made them somewhat unbelievable. I also tired of finding out what every woman in the book was wearing every time she was mentioned, and how many cups of tea were served. This is why I gave the book only three stars. However, I was interested in finding out what happened to all of the characters when the war was finally over. One of the strengths of this book (and the two others) was the way the author described how a war affects ordinary people.

A good read!!

Enjoyed every page of this book. It was a down to earth story of good times and bad in a normal family living through the hardships of war. Looking forward to reading No. 3 in the series.
