I very much enjoyed Jennie Marsland's Shattered. The writing is gentle but realistic and I felt like I was walking with Liam and Alice up the hilly streets of Halifax during the first World War. It was such a different time but the author portrays it well, and I could taste the tea, better still the scotch. I worried about the people working and living near the harbor, and the author does an excellent job weaving the love story against the growing tension of the explosion.
