The girl who fell from the sky

It is an extremely engaging literary historical thriller. I found it an exciting book right down to the very last page and I didn't want it to end - it is a thrilling, thought provoking and fast-paced. Which I read with a quickened heartbeat!

This is a very well-written, sophisticated and totally absorbing novel, where Simon Mawer has created realistic characters and has cleverly used a blend of fact and fiction to make his tale both exciting and very believable.

Simon Mawer really sets a scene well, he conveys the mood and atmosphere of the Second World War, and I could frequently feel the tension whilst reading. He has created compelling characters and a memorable adventure story which pulled me in; I cared deeply about what would happen to Marion, after what she had been through, she has such guts and courage, and yet is so vulnerable. The prose is beautiful, and I was very moved by this story. This is one book that I will remember for a long time.
This is definitely one of my books of the year so far.
