This book is based on a true historical event, one that I hadn't heard of before, but that I found myself looking up information on during reading. Tilly was eight years old at the time of the disaster. Paul was only a baby (I did find it odd that 30 years after the event he was giving his age as 29!), but now he is researching what happened and producing a documentary on it. In the process, he interviews Dunne, the man who wrote the original report on the incident. The historical setting felt vivid, the characters for the most part well-drawn, and the story of the incident itself written in a very moving way. As you would expect, Paul's investigations turn up more than the original report covered, but in a fitting way. I come away from the book with a greater understanding of what it was like in the war for those in London, and an appreciation that being responsible for something is not the same as being to blame for it.
