The Forgotten Village - Lorna Cook

A dual timeline tale about Melissa who is on holiday and visits a small English village that was requisitioned during the war, forcing all the inhabitants to leave their homes never to return.  I found the wartime story felt a little out of place, like it should have been set in 1914, not the 1940s.  I also figured out the plot half way though, so wasn't surprised at the ending.  3/5.

It doesn't sound a successful book. Why 1914 instead of 1940?
