The story moves from the Dorset countryside, to London, then to Iraq, Oman and the West Indies. The pacing is superb: there was never a moment when the story felt a little dull - and I'm not usually keen on wartime fiction. I did wonder about the way in which history seems to repeat itself, but that's me being very picky and it certainly wouldn't stop me reaching out for another of Lokko's books. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of ''The Last Debutante'' to the Bookbag.
As well as reading the book I listened to an audio download narrated by Julia Barrie. She has a good range of voices and I was impressed. I'd happily listen to more books narrated by her.
If this book appeals then I think you might enjoy [[Dreamers of the Day by Mary Doria Russell]].
