6/10, Urgh, the main character as annoying, definitely a step down from the first novel, the plot wasn't all that interesting either, it just didn't captivate me.

Secret Sparrow av Jackie French

Fantastic story about Jean a girl who signed up to be a signaller in World War 1 at the age of 16 and ended up working as a de-coder and signaller on the battlefront of France. Jackie French tells her story years later as Jean and a young boy are trapped by rising flood waters and Jean recounts what happened to keep them awake and alive so they don't pass away from hypothermia. From her swim in the English channel from a torpedoed ship to her racing across the mud of the Somme while being shot at, Jean is a wonderful heroic figure who still manages to keep her head, when others around her are falling apart and the worry of what is happening to her soldier brothers threatens to consume her. Based on accounts that were not destroyed after WW1 ( read the end pages for the true story the tale is based on) Jean is fictional but somewhere in history, someone like her existed and did this job in WW1. Brilliant writing and a love story also thrown in as well.… (mer)
