A story of a family of women trying to cope and survive during the blitz in Birmingham,it made me thankful that I haven't had to face the hardships of families being split. Loved ones parted, husbands and children seperated. The story was a little bit of a tear jerker towards the end. A very good read, again like all of Annie Murray's books I could not put it down till I had finished reading it even though I had read it twice before. What I find with all the Author's book, she certainly must carry out a lot of research, her books are full of little snippits of information that take you back in time and reminds you of the things you forgot about when you were young, expecially as most of her books are all set in the area of Birmingham and the fact that I was born in the area.

This story by Annie Murray lived up to expectations - the lives of women during WW2 - and how they intermingle. Very enjoyable read if you like Annie's style and I do! It all seems so real!

"Birmingham Blitz" by Annie Murray was an okay book. While I enjoyed it I have confess that after a while with so many characters I began to lose interest and I had to force myself to finish it. Overall "Birmingham Blitz" was a decent book but it really didn't hold my interest.
