It seems like wartime England is the current It-theme for new releases. (Possibly, I only think this because I’ve read a couple of others recently.) So I guess if you’re going there, you need a hook. Here, a young English girl comes to be trapped in a house with a German soldier in a mysteriously deserted Suffolk village. From an intriguing premise, it sadly wanders through unobtrusive prose to some predictable conclusions, without taking advantage of the few surprises it manages to inject along the way. More entertaining than doing nothing at all, but not worth it if better options are available.
