The Air Raid Book Club
The Air Raid Book Club is a story of hope. It captured my heart and is a lovely tribute to the people of London who survived the bombings in London during World War II.
What appealed to you in this story the most?
I just loved all the heartwarming and tender moments along with the wonderful and diverse cast of characters. The best part was how Lyons highlighted what we often forget - the role ordinary people play in helping their neighbors and keeping up morale. Moreover, the story as a whole reminds us that it is never too late to make new friends, help a stranger, and to stand up for what is right, and this is something we desperately need to remember even today.
I was also drawn into the evolving relationship between Gertie and Hedy as they both grew as individuals from their relationship with each other.
Oh, and I of course, loved all things bookish in this story!
How was the pace?

Thank you, William Morrow, for this gifted copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
