Biographisches: " Millie Bobby Brown is a British Emmy-award winning actress. She has been featured in the Time 100 list of the world's most influential people and is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. Nineteen Steps is her first book. " Rezension(2): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: August 1, 2023 Inspired by her own family's experiences during the Second World War, actor Brown's debut novel, co-authored by McGurl, is centered on the tragic 1943 Bethnal Green air-raid shelter incident that left 173 men, women, and children crushed to death on a darkened stairway--the single greatest loss of civilian life in Great Britain during WWII. While war rages in their East End neighborhood, 18-year-old Nellie Morris and her tightly knit family make the most of rationing, blackouts, and almost nightly trips to the air-raid shelter, supporting one another and their neighbors during the darkest times. Nellie falls in love with an American airman, but tragedy intervenes, and she seeks comfort in the arms of a family friend. Soon, she is faced with an unexpected choice, and her path to love and happiness is anything but smooth. Heartfelt and warm, with quietly heroic characters that embody the innocence of first love and wartime patriotism, Brown's debut is sure to be popular among readers who enjoy novels that bring lesser-known notable events from the past to life.
