#4 Unexploded

Unexploded
by Alison MacLeod

Set in Brighton during WWII, as the town prepares and waits for a predicted invasion by the Germans.
I skimmed through a lot of this book. Yawn, just get on with it. It rambled on and on, especially in the middle of the book, and the details and side plots didn't seem to have anything to do with moving the plot forward.

The book could have been 200 pages shorter, and then it would have been better.

Also, I didn't think the extra-marital relationships of the main characters were convincing.
