About the Book:
There are more dangers than German bombs in wartime…
Canadian-born teacher Victoria takes up a new position at a London school, but soon finds herself coordinating its evacuation to a Norfolk village along with standoffish spinster Beatrice and quiet young Nell. Victoria has to adapt to life in the countryside, petty politics and local busybodies.
When she meets attractive naval officer Louis Grainger, romance blossoms. Victoria is drawn into a clandestine world and told that she is helping the British government, but after she catches Louis covertly meeting a suspicious stranger in nearby woods, she fears the worst — a traitor in their midst.
It’s a race against time for Victoria to discover the truth and keep the village — and the country — safe from invasion.
My Review:
Fans of sweeping historical sagas should immediately purchase this absolutely delightful and heartwarming new read. You will not regret it! I’m always fascinated by stories from the British homefront during WWII, and the research that went into this is so detailed that I felt like I was watching a movie. If you read and loved The War That Saved My Life, this will be right up your alley as it’s the story of the teachers who evacuated London with their students. The three teachers at first strangers become like family, as well as the students and townsfolk (my favorite trope “found family!”). There’s mystery, heartbreak and romance all told with fabulous storytelling. This was a five star read!
