I immediately fell in love with Olive, the feisty young protagonist! Olive is a young woman living in a small English village at the start of World War II. Olive longs to be able to really "do her bit" in a way that differs from other women she knows. This story shows the ways people came together during this terrible time in history. It also illuminates the restrictions felt by many women at that time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this author's writing style. The reader gets a real sense of the village without too many details that detract from the characters. A complete cast is introduced in the opening chapters. All are fully developed and immediately add intrigue to the plot.

Anyone who enjoys books featuring strong and complex English women living in the 1940's will love this book. It is the perfect blend of family and village life set against a backdrop of coming conflict. I can't wait to read the rest of Olive Bright, Pigeoneer!
