The two main characters are Audrey and Eve. Their friendship consists of the high-class society girl and the kitchen maid. Lynn Austin made the friendship workable by giving Audrey and Eve distinct personalities and connected them in various ways. Eve shows Audrey how to be courageous. Audrey used her privilege to Eve's advantage and assistance. Is this realistic? I am not sure, but it works in this novel.
World War II happened and their friendship had a different turn and was tested. I felt that this section was well done. The fact that Eve’s mother died in a bombing because she couldn’t leave Aubrey’s mother left me questioning the author. Eve and Audrey spent the book being pushed together, then pulled apart, over and over again. It got wearing and turned me off. But I believe it is realistic.
I enjoyed the book a lot until the last quarter of the book which was anticlimactic and not needed. Lynn seemed to go over the same information and emotions she had already addressed. I didn’t like this section of the book.
