Excellent book from start to finish. I love how it was written from a perspective not often portrayed and inspired by the author's family experiences. People Like Us is a brilliant work of historical fiction - captivating, emotive and well researched. Impressive character development; I was fully transported and touched by Hetty and Walter's story.

Highly Recommend

It was interesting to journey from the perspective of a young German girl in pre WW2 Germany with a fictional story that was inspired by the writer’s own family experiences. The author’s comments at the end were really interesting drawing parallels between pre war Germany and present times. Recommended.

Interesting and easy reading from start to end
