Annotation: From multi-award winning young adult author Kirsty Murray, "The Year It All Ended" takes readers back to Armistice Day 1918, seventeenth birthday of Tina Flynn. While the war has ended, her journey is only beginning. Over the next year, Tina will experience both tragedy and joy, witness weddings, seances, riots and balls, and travel from Adelaide to a near-ruined Europe. There's a lot to unpack in this novel, the focus being not on the war itself, but life afterwards. Former soldiers must return to civilian life, Germans living in Australia are held responsible for the horrors, and Tina's family must try to build a future for themselves, while also coming to terms with the past.
