This fun book is out today. It’s a great one to add to your summer reading. Thank you so much to Netgalley, Crown Publishing, and Jennifer Ryan for providing me with a digital copy of this book. I’m well into it, and I’m enjoying the adventures of quirky and headstrong Mrs. Braithwaite as she is determined to find her daughter. After her divorce and subsequent demotion from her local WVS, Mrs. Braithwaite heads to London for an overdue visit with her only daughter. When she arrives, she discovers that Betty has been missing for days. Not even the blitz can keep Mrs. Braithwaite from steamrolling Mr. Norris, the soft-spoken landlord, into joining the adventure. The tone of this WWII novel is light and thoroughly entertaining. It’s more of a romp than a heavy story – perfect for your pool or beach bag!
