Thanks Alison. I'm going to keep it for my holiday in a few weeks time and then I'll pass it on when I get back.

The
book was actually written for the 'YOUNG ADULT' genre, but like HARRY
POTTER, TWILIGHT and THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME
is a perfect adult 'crossover' book.
The
story is set in the not-too-distant future, and revolves around a
15year-old American girl who comes to stay with her Aunt and her family,
somewhere in rural England. Starting off as an idyllic, almost ENID
BLYTON-ish (with a bit more 'bite') story, it soon changes, as un-named
occupiers invade Great Britain and the nation is thrown into a state of
war. There are some interesting insights into what life during an
Occupation can/would be like, and there is of course a Love Story
running throughout.
Glad to hear it arrived! Hope you enjoy it
