Book description
Hitler's war is reaching out to affect every member of the Neylor
family. Val Neylor, driving an ambulance through the blazing heart of
London, is in an impossible position, for the man she loves is a
fighter pilot with the Luftwaffe. And Jenny, whose husband Simon is
flying Spitfires, finds herself working as a landgirl on a Devon farm.
Cara, by contrast, develops her social life, and Maudie, in the WAAF,
falls in love with two men at once ... Tina, matriarch of the family
loves them all, scolds them all, and tries to understand the new
generation growing up in the troubled times of war.
A warm and moving family saga set in Britain caught in the torment
of the Second World War.
