Kitty's War

Firstly thank you Netgalley for this Arc

What an emotional book set in Ireland and London . You feel that you are Kitty at times when you get engrossed in the book

Family saga and wartime brilliant

An enjoyable read with believable characters. An interesting look at the involvement of Ireland in the Second World War that doesn’t seem to get much attention. A great emotional and informative read.

Love a family saga! This book had it all!! Was good to read about Ireland in the war not a lot of books on it out there. Worth a read

Kitty Flynn has been making a new life for herself in London after escaping her mother, and her wicked ways. When family circumstances call for her to return to help her brother Anthony who was injured in the war, she has no idea of the extent of his problems. Kitty decides to look for work to try to help them out and is delighted to be taken on at the hospital as a Nurses Aide. While going through the corridors she is met by Frank Doolin who has heard Kitty speaking German to one of the patients, when Doolin demands to know how she speaks such fluent German she explains that she was brought up by a German mother, will this satisfy him or does he have an ulterior motive!
Kitty finds solace with her landlady Alice who is so kind, and her son Peter for his innocence. Alice helps Kitty look at life differently and to make wise choices.
I have to say I wasn’t sure at first but the more I read the more I enjoyed it. There were some great characters, Com Doolin, father Fitzpatrick, Sam and my favourite Kitty. Loved the twists, didn’t see that coming.

Katie Flynn had escaped from her mothers’ clutches and is now living in London as nurse when she receives a letter from home that her mother is dead, and her brother is very sick after coming home from the war. Her brother is her last living relative, and he hasn’t got anyone else, so she returns home to care for him. But when she returns home to Ireland who is neutral in the current war. She finds out that her brother is being blackmailed for his homosexuality. So, to pay the blackmailer she takes on a job as a nurse’s maid to pay them off. But when commandant Doolin hears her talk German to one of the prisoners in the hospital she is asked to become a translator and to read the letters that the prisoners are sending back home.
The is another emotional read from the author that I really enjoyed, and it told me things I wasn’t aware of with Ireland’s involvement in WW2. 4 stars from me.
