When the Wind Blows Reflection

I thought this story was a good but sad because the main characters died in the end.

The labour herald said “ This book deserves a very wide audience and should be compulsory reading “. I think it should be so that everybody knows how horrible nuclear war is.

The guardian said “It is meant to break your heart in some purpose “ I think it should because the nuclear war is horrible.
