A more literary science fiction novel about what happens when 90% of the population is suddenly unable to sleep.

I really enjoyed my experience with this book. One of my goals for 2020 was to read more non-fiction, particularly history, and this was one of my top contenders for the year.

Firstly, I have studied very little history and while I learnt about WWI in school we did not cover WWII. So it was really interesting and enlightening to read about the transition period. The accounts go chronologically and come from a variety of walks of life. As another reviewer said, the fresh feeling of the letters and diary entries kept me very engaged and focused.

I would say that as someone who knows absolutely nothing about the time period, I could have done with reading a few other texts to get a better grasp of the major players of the time. A lot of information is packed into this book, and I am looking forward to re-reading it when I have a better base knowledge.

Beautifully written, it reads like a myth. I adored the two main characters.

A genuine surprise, but I stan Mr Knightly now.

I need to go ahead and read the rest of Jane Austen's novels, because so far I've enjoyed them all!!
