I have to say it was so good to join the Brogan family in A Ration Book Childhood,Ida is out when she she's a face from the past and goes to say hello but what happens is going to shatter ida and her marriage.The Brogans are a family that pull together but can they heal the rift between their parents,as christmas is coming the family club together to put on a family spread.Queenie is still the same but what has happened has rocked her world too and she has sympathy for Ida.I have to say that this is the best book yet of Brogan Family and when you read it have tissues ready as you will need them.worthy of more stars but 5* is all i can give Thank you to Jean Fullerton for a BRILLIANT book.

Jean Fullerton has done it again. Capturing the lives around war and rationing. Ida doing the good thing when it comes to her best friend who is dying. Showing you may not have much but utmost love to your kids and family and overcoming hurdles that would split some families up. Queenie a total star!!
