  • The songbirds of Florence

    By Olivia Spooner
    4 stars

    Masterful writing of a beautiful and heartfelt story about the Tui's (a group of women from New Zealand) who served overseas in the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps. The story was the perfect blend of love, trauma and friendship, and I loved the Kiwi aspect of the story. I never knew about the Tui's before reading this book - so I always love learning something new. But for me, this novel had a particularly big impact on me as it contained glimpses of our NZ soldiers and gave me an insight into what life would have been like for my Grandad who was fighting in the same areas as the soldiers mentioned in the book.
