The Skylarks’ War: Hilary McKay. Macmillan Children‘s Books, 2018

I’ll start this review by discussing preconceptions, or, less pretentiously, admit that for some reason I thought this book was set during the second world war. I didn’t really look at it when I snapped it up in a charity shop (way back when) as it had been so widely lauded. It was only upon opening it up to read it that I realised my mistake. And, of course, it was suitably published a century after the end of the first world war.

This review refers to some details from the end of the book. )
