'I need to write down what has just happened. I need to set down the truth. If I write lies or if I write nothing at all, this journal is worthless. I must do this, in case anything happens. All right. This is what happened tonight, every single terrible thing that I can remember . . .'

But it is 1936 and bigger events are on the horizon. Is everything Sophie knows and loves about the change?
From Sophie's charming and lively observations to a nailbiting, unputdownable ending, this is a book to be treasured.
