Given to me by my sister Hayley.

This is a story about six friends and their lives over the next 40 or so years. The book starts in England with the death of King George. Peggy and the other girls from the American air base, head down to the train station to pay their respects to the funeral train. Here they meet Kath and their lives are changed forever.

I really liked all the main characters, they were all flawed and likable at the same time. The book mainly focuses on Peggy and Kath as theirs is the friendship that doesn't fall out like all the others seem to.

It's basically a book about life and at times it's pretty depressing and at other times it's very uplifting. I like how Graham put in newspaper clippings from the major events that happened and how the characters reacted to them. I also liked how she showed how attitudes were starting to change through the younger generations.

I read this very quickly but this was helped along by the beautiful summer day. I have spent most of the day in the garden, slowly burning and loving it.

It's been awhile since I've sent anything to you so I was pleased when this came up on your wishlist :) Enjoy!

Thank you so much for this surprise RABCK!!! You made a so-so day wonderful :) plan to read and release as soon as I can
