Sign in for personalised guidanceThis is a wartime romantic story about competing attachments, personal uncertainty and the pressure of circumstances beyond the characters’ control.
Josie falls in love with Jumbo and develops feelings for his brother Chris, becoming torn between them.
Josie is evacuated to Essex, while the war and increasingly dangerous German attacks disrupt the characters’ lives and may affect her choices.
Before reading, consider whether the reader is comfortable with a romance involving divided feelings and a wartime setting where danger, tragedy and death are part of the story’s circumstances.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
