But it is a book, like its predecessor, that teems with beauty.Both books leave a profound afterglow and establish themselves firmly as classics to be loved and revisited.' Magpies 'Brubaker Bradley is unsparing in her rendition of the human toll that wars incur. She lives on a farm in Tennessee with her family. Kimberly Brubaker Bradley has written several historical novels for children and young adults, including the bestselling Newbery Honor Book The War that Saved My Life. The War I Finally Won is the marvellous conclusion to Ada's powerful, uplifting story. Ada must decide-where do her loyalties lie? Then Ruth, a Jewish girl from Germany, moves in. But who is she, she wonders?Īda and her brother, Jamie, are living with their guardian, Susan, in a cottage in the English countryside, on the estate of the formidable Lady Thorton and her daughter, Maggie, Ada's dearest friend. When Ada's clubfoot is surgically fixed at last, she knows for certain that she's not what her mother said she was-crippled in her mind as well as in her body. Like the classic heroines of literature, Ada wins our hearts as she continues her World War II adventures after the Newbery Honor–winning The War that Saved My Life.
