Review: What Child Is This

 I managed to squeeze in one more book (well, a short story really) for 2022. Rhys Bowen’s “What Child Is This” was a nice way to end the reading year.


Maggie and Jack are struggling in London on Christmas Eve 1940. A loss in their own family, isolation, rationing, and nightly bombing raids are wearing on them. When their neighborhood is hit with incendiary bombs, they flee into the night with nothing but the clothes on their back. Maggie and Jack find shelter in a seemingly abandoned mansion in a posh neighborhood, but soon realize they are not alone.


The feel-good ending will leave you smiling and hopeful for the new year. This story is great for fans of Rhys Bowen and historical fiction.
