Gehört zur ReiheAnnie Groves' World War II (book 1)
A captivating saga set on the eve of WW2 in Liverpool, where life is about to change forever for one girl. As war breaks out so too does Molly Dearden... Molly is used to living in the shadow of her older sister, June. When their mother died when Molly was just seven years old, June helped their grief-stricken father look after her in their tiny home in the tight-knit Edge Hill district of Liverpool. But as her seventeenth birthday passes, Molly doesn't realise how much she is going to have to grow up. As the threat of a second world war looms, she must learn to protect herself, her family, and her heart. When hostilities finally break out, Molly finds the courage to enlist in the Women's Voluntary Service. There, she can help the war effort and finally stand on her own two feet. It's a terrifying time, but also some of the best days of her life, especially when she meets, and falls for Eddie. The pair live for the precious hours when Eddie is on leave from the Navy and excitedly plan their future together. But then tragedy strikes. Devastated, Molly can take no more. But then the terrible reality of war hits her home town and Molly must find the strength to protect those closest to her heart. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

It's your run of the mill wartime saga - dragging on for too long, about a female character who doesn't really develop much past the quivering walk-over she was at the beginning, falling in love with someone who's perfect only to lose him and then falling in love again with an arrogant dick...
Little Miss Molly Mary-Sue Dearden was just too much of a Mary-Sue, even though she knew she was vaguely attractive. And she was really quite dumb and needed to grow a pair and tell her sister June to just shut up and mind her business.
And June. God, don't get me started on June. How could someone possibly be so obnoxious and nasty and judgemental?
Overall: Not the worst wartime saga I've read, but Annie Groves has produced much better material recently. ( )
