The Very Thought of You by Rosie Alison reviewed by Lisa H

This fictional novel is set in England during World War II. It revolves around a little girl who is forced to evacuate her home and travel to an unknown destination for safety by herself.  She arrives by train at Ashton Park with about 80 other children.  At first, I was afraid to read anymore of this book, fearing some horrible abuse or torture. I was pleasantly surprised to find beautiful love stories entertwined with the pains of war.  It is a well written and lovely story.  While not everything turns out the way you hope, it keeps you turning the pages quickly.
