Thank you for the book report! It ties well into Veteran's Day and I know many are still fasinated with WWII. I also enjoyed the favorite quotes segment. It caused me to wonder, "I'm curious what will be written, remembered, and recalled of the time we live in now. What will history say about the time of the pandemic and the lockdowns, the push for globalism and the counter response of countries back to traditionalism, religion, and tribalism?"
Thank you for recommending this book. I was raised by my grandparents in Scotland, but they had spent WWII in London. She was a nurse and he was a policeman. They told me many stories. It was a terrible time, and I feel for all the civilians in war zones at the moment.
Amazing to have been raised by grandparents who were in London during WWII and the Blitz. I hope that you may one day consider sharing some of the stories in your wonderful newsletter which they shared with you. As a nurse and policeman, what they experienced could fill a book or two at least. I, too, feel for the current civilians in war zones. Innocent and yet suffering unspeakably. I hope when you read the book you let me know what you think of it, Kate! Thank you for commenting!
Yes, I will share their stories one day. Though of course I was a teenager when they told me of them, and so I was not very interested in remembering details!
Oh, I haven't thought about the stories that will - and likely already have begun to - be written about what we have endured as a country and world. Fascinating to consider, Christy. If you are in need of a very good read indeed, this one is available as an audiobook on Libby at the public library. That's how I read (listened to) it!

Ah, yes, the universal qualities of teenagers! So fun to communicate with you here, Kate!
