They are dealing with the non-stop bombing of London, working jobs for the government, and rationing.

My Take : OMG you guys…..this is one of the best books I've read in a LONG time. I actually cried during one pivotal part (I haven't done that since Bk. 7 of Harry Potter and before that Where the Red Fern Grows – don't even think about reading that if you love dogs and don't want to do the 'ugly cry' – but I digress). Michelle Cooper does a really masterful job of transporting you to wartime London. She weaves both historical details with a fantastic amount of character development and introspection. The realities of living during this horrendous are brought closer to you because she infuses with realistic touches – what are they eating, dealing with rationing…the mundane details of life that still have to go one even though shit is crazy. I did that thing when I finished this book where I just gave a little sigh because : 1) it was so good and wrapped up everything really well but not in a too good to be true way and 2) now I've finished it and I'm just a little sad. This was absolutely my favorite of the three and I can't recommend this enough. I feel like shouting BRAVA Michelle Cooper….well done indeed. I give this…..wait for it…..10 SHOES!@!!!!!!! It's happened – I loved it that much. This book is a pair of leopard Loubotin heels – the perfect shoe. Do yourself a favor – read this series!

As I watch my news feed, I have noticed an increase in Mad Men 'asides;' mentions of Mad Men as shorthand for all manner of things.
- Any success on cable television mentions Mad Men. Any cable station's plans for expanding its niche is compared to AMC and Mad Men.
- Summer scheduling is also always discussed with a mention of Mad Men.
- And of course, any 'best show on television' discussions mention Mad Men. 'Come from behind' and unexpected success goes along with that.
- AMC cannot be discussed without Mad Men and Breaking Bad, and in general, Breaking Bad cannot be discussed without Mad Men.
- Retro styling (not just clothing, but mid-century furniture and art as well) always earns a MM mention.
- In fact, sleek, buttoned-down, dapper style in general usually nods towards MM.
- Smoking? Check. Drinking? Check. Adultery? Check.
