Framed within Tamsin's visit to an airfield, this offers her grandmother's own story of experience as a WAAF there during the war. What's so fresh is the range of perspectives on war which include a great many women, and the practicality of their lives at the airfield. While shaping a really strong story of relationships against this background, the author doesn't allow the expected happy ending of children's books to distort the harshness. It's a strong beginning to a trilogy about the women in these three generations.
