‘The message is clear – when confronted with situations where death is almost inevitable, everyone is the same, regardless of race, gender or religion.’
Michael Grant has written another alternate history of the second world war, to be added to the teetering piles of such books that already exist. Luckily, it’s not just the stale ‘what if the Nazis won’ reworking, but something that is fresh, new and exciting.
It’s a simple premise – American women are too allowed to enlist and be drafted, after a 1940 court ruling – but Grant creates a beautiful and compelling read, not just about the war, but about the power of friendship.
