★★★

London, 1942.

Despite the raging war, spirited 18-year-old Nellie Morris lives a quiet life in the tight-knit East End community of Bethnal Green. Her family and friends all tease that she will marry air raid warden Billy, the boy next door who’s always been sweet on her.

The arrival of Ray, a handsome American airman stationed nearby, causes Nellie to question everything she thought she knew about her future.

Nellie’s new-found happiness is short-lived when a tragic accident occurs during an air raid. Even the closest family can’t escape the devastation of war, and as the secrets and truth about that fateful night become clear, they threaten to tear Nellie – and those dearest to her – apart.

’There is no healing without remembering, and there is no remembering without stories. So thank goodness Brown’s Nanny Ruth, who was a survivor of the crush, told her granddaughter what she remembered…You might open Nineteen Steps for the celebrity name, but stick with it for the history of an under-recognized event of World War II.’ New York Times

This is a book I would rather have read than listened to as the narrator sounded like a child. There was no distinction in the characters voices except the American accent, which was rather weak. Storyline was ok.

A bit disappointing

Brilliant story

This is a very well written novel, the story is very gripping and easy to imagine happening. I did find that every event that happened was extremely predictable. A good book nevertheless.

Good story, but very predictable

I love that this was based around real characters and events. I enjoyed the story and while I was able to predict some of the twists and turns it didn't detract from my enjoyment. The only thing I'd change was the narration. I realise that'll sound strange given that the author themselves is narrating but it felt a bit reserved and stilted in places. The story itself reminded me of some of the Mary Jane Staples works but how, with those, the narration had really brought every character to life.
