Sweet Little Book

This was a nice book. It is really a coming of age story, durning WWII. The heroine, Rosey, goes from being an honorary family member to a close Italian family in Liverpool to basicly being all alone in a war ravaged country. The back blurb of the book couldn't be more clear about what the book is about, it actually is four paragraphs long, and each paragraph describes each of the four parts of the book. My favorite aspecats of the book were seeing the effect that the bombing of England had and the way the people in England lived. This book relly did a good job of transporting the reader to the time. I also really like the the way Groves wrote her characters, each one seemed real and vibrant. Rosie was a bit "perfect" and almost too much, but she was easy to sympathise with, in the first three parts annyway. My favorite character was Ricardo, Rosie's love intrest. He doesn't really come in until the last third of the book, but he's well writen, and in him I could see hints of the romance author Groves alter ego writes about, except even better. My only negative about the book was perhaps some hard to believe stuborness on Rosie's part in regards to her relationship with Ricardo and the way she ended up treating him, even once some of her fears had been resolved.
