I’m currently enjoying a phase of obsessively reading wartime historical fiction, and The Weight of Goodbye stands proudly amongst them. 
Following Lucia, a young and privileged woman as she learns a truth about her father she can’t stomach and leaves her family behind. Told across multiple timelines, it follows her through friendship, love and tragedy. I loved the sections of the novel which focused on Lucia’s experiences as an ambulance driver during the Blitz, and I was fascinated by the references to the Blackshirts, which somehow I’ve never come across before, but will now be looking into.
An emotional read, perfect for curling up with and getting lost in.
