It was interesting seeing the story unravel and to see all the different characters and the parts they played, good or bad, that got Brigit to the end of her story and the end of the world. Her bravery and determination saw her well and her fearlessness in the face of danger took her far. I thought she was a bright young girl with more sense on her shoulders than a lot of the adults depicted in this story. Brigit was more of a hero to me than the heroes in fantasy mega novels or series. I am forever thankful that I did not live during the War and that I live in a society that was shaped by the heroics of the war. I can understand the thought process behind the actions but that doesn’t make hearing about them any better. I knew that the attitude towards German’s living in the UK were bad but this book offered an account of how bad things really were. The language was simple enough for me to understand and yet also complex enough to get across the seriousness of the situations presented within the story.Ĭharacterisation – Brigit put up with a lot and that was before the War started. Ability to read – I had no difficulty with reading this and I enjoyed how much I learnt from the story.
