An historical fiction based on a real person, a former friar in Germany during WWII who joins the resistance and along with his wife encourages the town people to to continue living their lives by supporting each other and especially the children. An uplifting story, beautifully descriptive and emotionally charged.

Mentally stimulating poems. I wish there was an audiobook version read by the author. I loved his self narrated book something in the woods loves you. My favorite poem from this collection was “orcas”

I think it was only an okay book, it wasn’t my favorite out of the whole series. I feel like the plot was slow and not much really happened compared to her other books.

This had me going back and forth trying to guess what the ending was going to be the entire time! It kept me hooked!

I thought that I would like the plot more than I did. I am not a huge fan of regency era romance but I do like to read it once in a while. This was not it for me.

Delightful read. The messages and themes present in this book are so applicable to today's political and social climate.

The author harkens back to the time where actors and actresses were king and queen and movies were all the rage right before the horrors of World War II. This book, which I hope is the first in a cozy series, takes place during the filming of Hitchcock's famous movie Rebecca. The plot revolves around a young Hollywood script supervisor, Evelyn Galloway, who finds herself embroiled in a mystery surrounding the murder of an actor from the studio she is working at. With the help of her room mate and others actors, she finds herself in an adventure that evokes the time and place of the early 1940's. I had seen Rebecca a few times previously and now after reading this "behind the scenes" (albeit fictional portrayal of Hitchcock and the main actors), I want to see it again. The mystery has a great ending and Evelyn then accept a job working on another Hitchcock movie, The Foreign Correspondent, so I hope that means there will be a followup. Likeable characters and very interesting plot. I found myself googling various people and events in the story to gain more insight. A fun read overall!

Everyone should read it. I really liked how Skye got a chance to be OAP (oldest available Penderwick) and how Roslind had a break

This book ended differently than his other books. It was sadder and yet more inspiring. The female who became a spy was courageous and brave. I liked the book and would recommend it.

I loved it because I am a new big sister!
