I'm always drawn to historical fiction based on a true story, so this book immediately caught my interest. The opening scene put me right in the midst of that English village with the gas fitters. I could see it all playing out. I thought I'd be riveted, but as the story continued I found the content choppy. We jump from one memory to another. The chapters are quite short, and the result is like reading journal entries instead of a novel.
The sections are well written. If the story settles in with a more straightforward timeline, this could definitely be a compelling read.
