Nineteen Steps by Millie Bobby Brown
Nineteen Steps is Millie Bobby Brown's debut novel, inspired by her family's experiences during World War II. The story follows Nellie Morris, an 18-year-old living in London during the war. Nellie's life takes a dramatic turn when she meets Ray, an American airman, and begins to dream of a life beyond the war-torn city.
The novel is a captivating blend of historical events and personal drama, with the Bethnal Green tube disaster playing a significant role in the plot. Brown's portrayal of Nellie's journey through love, loss, and resilience is both touching and inspiring.
However, some readers have found the book to be a bit slow-paced and criticized the character development, particularly Nellie's relationships. Despite these critiques, Nineteen Steps remains a heartfelt tribute to Brown's grandmother and a testament to the enduring power of love and hope during dark times.
