GALAXY BOOKSELLER PICK: A really enjoyable speculative historical fiction that’s mostly a recount of women during the Blitz, and one woman specifically who hopes to achieve her ambitions, if it weren’t for the inconvenience of a time travel plot to end the world and a socially-awkward man. I loved the writing style and the characterisations, and the frustration of the inevitable denouement was still extremely compelling. -Zoë
