Palmer has created a poignant story with different voices which manages deftly to explore painful memories of the war while keeping a foot firmly in the present . When Lily goes to the lake district to run in the 'fell race', she visits her Grandma, who lives there and has been recently diagnosed with Alzheimers. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes stories with other stories hidden in them and also people that like emotional stories.

Lily is fighting her own battles - Abbie, her rival, always seems to beat her, and her beloved Grandma has Alzheimer's. The best are the ones that take a slightly different angle and explore one of millions of individual lives that were affected by those conflicts. I hadn`t expected there to be extracts from this journal throughout, but I really liked that there was and the way that it portrayed life on the front line. You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods.

I devoured it in no time at all, with the pages seeming to fly past as I was drawn in to Lily's life and her great-great-grandfather, Ernest's as he goes to war.

She is then given his notes and diary and through these we are swept into the trenches in the Great War. I liked all the characters because they all behave differently towards each other but always support each other, whether they are rival enemies or best friends.

It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything.
