Book description
Vicar's daughter Izzy feels hugely guilty that she's having a very
good war. Having learned to fly in a travelling circus before the war,
she's now joined the Air Transport Auxiliary as one of their few
female pilots and is having the time of her life. The only cloud on
the horizon is having to lie to her father about her exact role in the
ATA. Her father is against the whole notion of women flying - he
certainly wouldn't approve of her becoming a 'spitfire girl'.
Izzy also feels distinctly out of place among the more upper class
ladies of the ATA. She would love to be as worldly as her flighty
housemate, Julia, or as sophisticated as society wife Clare. But when
Izzy finds herself falling for the charms of a dashing American doctor
it is to Julia and Clare that she turns for help...
Isla Dewar was born in Edinburgh. She wrote articles for magazines
and newspapers for many years before she wrote her first novel, KEEPING
UP WITH MAGDA, in 1995. She lives in Fife with her husband, a
cartoonist.
