A single mom of an infant balancing little sleep, hormones and a job with the BBC is stunned when she sees her sister on a security camera in a robbery and working with the IRA. Tessa and Marion are close and Tessa cannot believe that her sister would be a part of this but she will not turn her sister in.
Soon Tessa is pulled into a very dangerous game of helping Marion pass information to MI5. If either of them is caught there will be no second chance or time to say goodbye to Finn. This tight political thriller shows us both the violent and very human side of these activists. This tie to motherhood and family loyalty shows us a very different side to what you see on the news. 4 stars

I listened to the audiobook and was pulled deep into the disbelief and shock of London during the Blitz. A young woman and her friend arrive from the country to London hoping to work in a shop only to find herself working in a book shop for a man that clearly doesn't want her help. She begins reading from the recommendations of shop patrons and soon she is steering the shop into success as well as adjusting to how she can help in the war effort and the grief that comes with war. Part romance, part historical this is a story with a bit for everyone and it is wonderful in audio. The fear, the resilience and the spirit of London is inspiring not to mention seeing the birth of marketing techniques that are still used today. 4 stars
