I will say that the synthesized voice was hilarious to listen to when the bombs were going off and when Louisa was shouting her mothers name (imagine a very monotone ka-boom, ka-boom, ka-boom or MAMA with no emphasis at all). Louisa is kind, hard working, and attune to the needs of those around her (mama included). Cousin Belle is eccentric, amazing, and empowering. Overall, this was a poignant story about a family affected deeply by war. A great historical fiction read for young readers. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
