'Light a penny candle' is the story of two ten-year-old girls, Aisling and Elizabeth, who are thrown together by the war and develop a lifelong friendship. Believable people are portrayed in realistic settings in both England and Ireland.
This is a well-written and fast-moving book, although I found the ending to be rather depressing with too many broken marriages and deaths for my tastes.
Still, I thought it worth reading.
