"A powerful story that proves how love itself requires courage." --Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

Spanning World War II and the sweep of the twentieth century, We Must Be Brave explores the fierce love that we feel for our children and the power of that love to endure. Beyond distance, beyond time, beyond life itself.


A woman. A war. The child who changed everything.

December 1940. As German bombs fall on Southampton, England during World War II, the city's residents flee to the surrounding villages. In Upton village, amid the chaos, newly married Ellen Parr finds a girl asleep, unclaimed at the back of an empty bus. Little Pamela, it seems, is entirely alone.

Ellen has always believed she does not want children, but when she takes Pamela into her home, the child cracks open the past Ellen thought she had escaped and the future she and her husband Selwyn had dreamed for themselves. As the war rages on, love grows where it was least expected, surprising them all. But with the end of the fighting comes the realization that Pamela was never theirs to keep. Spanning the sweep of the twentieth century, We Must Be Brave explores the fierce love that we feel for our children and the power of that love to endure. Beyond distance, beyond time, beyond life itself.

The story line was really beautiful and the writing.. I could see this happening during the war with displaced children however I feel like about 3/4 the book it took a turn and some direction got a bit lost. I didn’t find that the ending to produce much closure for the characters in the book or the reader which was disappointing. Still a lovely book.

While the story was quite interesting and not predictable I found that the book dragged on. The story could have adequately been told in half the time.

Interesting story

Good first two thirds, then it rambled on for no good reason. Could have ended much sooner.

Too Long

Lots of talking … disconnected. I was glad when it finished. Don’t waste your time. Good to make me sleep.

Disappointing

The first half of the book was interesting. How the main character's childhood trauma influenced her decision to adopt a homeless child in wartime. The second half was full and predictable.

The first half of the book interesting. Second half, dull.
