Rosie's War

Rosie can time travel, This time she goes back to 1943 and Ireland in the "Emergency" to help an old friend facing a murder charge. I really liked this book: it handles the different values of 1943 and 2000 very well, the difficulty Rosie has talking to someone she once new as a boy and the ways in which Ireland conducted itself in WWII come over very well. Best is the really strong flavour of urban Ireland. And finally, Rosie is a lot of fun. Smart, conniving, ingenious.
