to Read in 2016 When war is declared, Mary North leaves finishing
school unfinished, goes straight to the War Office, and signs up.
Tom Shaw decides to give it a miss - until his flatmate Alistair
unexpectedly enlists, and the conflict can no longer be avoided.
Young, bright and brave, Mary is certain she'd be a marvelous spy.
When she is - bewilderingly - made a teacher, she instead finds
herself defying prejudice to protect the children her country would
rather forget. Tom, meanwhile, finds that he will do anything for
Mary. And when Mary and Alistair meet, it is love, as well as war,
that will test them in ways they could not have imagined,
entangling three lives in violence and passion, friendship and
deception, inexorably shaping their hopes and dreams. In a powerful
combination of both humour and heartbreak, this dazzling novel
weaves little-known history, and a perfect love story, through the
vast sweep of the Second World War - daring us to understand that,
against the great theatre of world events, it is the intimate
losses, the small battles, the daily human triumphs, that change us
most.
