During the London Blitz, teenagers Bill and Julie find themselves living outside ordinary rules, sheltering among bombed streets and surviving through ingenuity. Their fragile independence offers freedom but also hunger, danger and the constant uncertainty of war. Jill Paton Walsh portrays their growing bond with restraint and compassion, capturing both the exhilaration and loneliness of lives abruptly separated from family and security. Fireweed is a memorable wartime novel about resilience, responsibility and the emotional refuge two young people create for one another amid destruction.
