Description

But just when it seems all hope is lost, Nellie finds that, against all odds, love and happiness can triumph. I was flying while reading most of the book and two separate flight attendants asked me if I was ok because I was in tears multiple times at the profoundly devastating events that unfold.

This book has left a sour taste in my mouth and I’m struggling to get over how it’s been publicised.Many elements of the book, including places the actress went with her grandmother, appear in the novel. There were a few elements of the book that weren’t for me; the language was strangely simple for the most part, and the pacing felt really fast towards the end, but all in all, a truly memorable, heart-wrenching read. And in that aspect it succeeds, painting a brave portrait of Nellie and her family and friends as they struggle to survive and find happiness in a world gone mad.

We’ve seen it in relation to many young, female stars,” said Dr Hannah Yelin, author of Celebrity Memoir: From Ghostwriting to Gender Politics. But one terrible night at the nearby air raid shelter tears Nellie's world apart and she must find the courage to make a new life from the wreckage.Nineteen Steps centers on Nellie Morris, an 18-year-old girl living with her parents and siblings in East London during the war. At the beginning of the Blitz, the bombing of London by the German military, in 1940, the government requisitioned the nearly completed station to be used as an overnight shelter during the ongoing air raids. It kept thousands of people safe from the German bombing for several years, and it could hold up to 10,000 people. The details of the disaster were upsetting to read, I cried while reading these pages - it must have so truly awful for all involved. The incident is now recognized as the worst civilian disaster during World War II, according to the BBC.

Nineteen Steps is an eye-opening and heartbreaking account of life during World War II, focusing on the tragedy that was the Bethnal Green tube disaster. On Tuesday, Brown posted an image on Instagram of herself holding the book standing next to McGurl, with the caption: “I couldn’t have done this without you! This book made me think of my grandparents and great grandparents, who sadly had to go through so many wars and who probably felt similar feelings as described in this book. It also represented the greatest single loss of life on the tube system, but curiously didn’t involve a train or vehicle of any description - 173 were killed including 62 children with over 60 injured. The New York Times bestseller from iconic Emmy-nominated actress and producer MILLIE BOBBY BROWN: Nineteen Steps is a captivating novel inspired by the true events of her family's experience during World War II.Nothing special whatsoever in terms of language and writing style (I feel like I could’ve written it? Other notable ghostwritten celebrity titles include Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, which was written by JR Moehringer. An epic story of longing, loss, and secrets, Millie Bobby Brown's propulsive debut introduces an unforgettable, brave young woman and boldly portrays the strength in the power of love.
