Letters from the Lighthouse Emma Carroll

A beautiful story of friendship between two girls, an evacuee from London & a Jewish refugee from France during World War Two.

Esperava que fosse uma história de suspense com toques sobrenatural, mas é uma trama que se passa durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, mas recomendo leitura bem fácil.

It is the best book that I have read about adventure. The mystery is amazing. Cracking codes, guessing things etc.

A very emotional book. The author takes you into the war years with all its fears not just for you but all people who went through the war. Well written and easy to read. Highly recommend

Lovely historical story showing mote than one sides about a subject very present nowadays: how it feels having to leave home due to war. Loved every word. Read it all during one weekend. Couldn't put it away. And I am 53.
