"I recommend this book because it’s got everything I love – a heroine striving against the societal constraints of her gender, unusual settings, family secrets, betrayal, mystery, and above all – chocolate. How can anyone resist? It’s a refreshing take on an over-saturated era in historical fiction, namely the Second World War. Plus, there is a sequel for those readers out there who enjoy spending a bit more time with their favourite characters. That makes it even more interesting."
