The story is easy to read, and delicately balances the desperate tragedies of war time with the warmth of seeing people living their everyday lives through and after the war. Though he does not shy away from sadness, AMS always manages to emphasise the joy, and the love, and the small happinesses that make up all of our lives. I am once more back to waiting for the next book (thank goodness he writes so many!), because I devoured this far too quickly! But it was a lovely cosying-up sort of read, and certainly one that I'd recommend.
Further reading suggestion: You might also enjoy another war story by McCall Smith [[La's Orchestra Saves the World by Alexander McCall Smith|La's Orchestra Saves the World]]. You might also appreciate [[The Constant Soldier by William Ryan]].
