The Silent Stars Go By |
Though written for a young adult audience this is also adultvjust much shorter than many novels telling similar tales. The war - World War I is over; a time of rejoicing. Harry, who three years ago was reported missing in action, is alive and coming home but for Margot there is a secret to be kept at all costs. Beautifully written, Sally Nicholls captures the period, the place and the people perfectly.

Yours from the Tower |
Sally Nicholls writes for young teens and YA. This, her latest book is a treat. Set in the 1890’s three friends (all girls, all in their late teens) write to each other now they have left school - their hopes, fears, frustrations. Through their letters we get a glimpse of different aspects of the society of the times. It is a neat, engaging package – and there is romance. Think Daddy Longlegs by Jean Webster.
