A believable, easy to read book, lighthearted but sad in many ways: relating how a 17-year old sees off two young men she has loved all her life and explaining the confusion of everyone at the beginning of WW II. It also shows how some young people were lucky enough to find respite from the turmoil of a broken family. Very difficult to 'put down' or predict whether the final twist would be happy or disastrous.
