Blue Skies and Gunfire, Paperback / softback Book

Blue Skies and Gunfire Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

When Josie is evacuated to her aunt and uncle's farm in Essex, she meets and falls in love with seventeen year old Jumbo, a happy-go-lucky optimistic young man who doesn't let his disability interrupt a life full of fun.

Their relationship takes off, despite the difficulties of the war, which interrupts their idyll from time to time with stories of tragedy and death.

But when Josie meets Chris, Jumbo's heroic fighter pilot brother, she experiences feelings that are out of control and dangerous; is this what real love feels like?

She is torn between the two young men - one who is steady and loving, the other wayward and challenging.

Yet it may not be her choice to make, as the German attack on England becomes more and more dangerous... Set against the backdrop of the second world war, where people diced with life and death every day, this is a wonderfully moving story of love, passion and tragedy.
