A Worthy Scoundrel - Ray Hobbs - Bog

Four years have elapsed since Fred Fuller returned from New Zealand to join the Royal Naval Air Service. It is January 1918, and he finds himself at Dover Seaplane Base in Kent, searching the English Channel for U-boats in a vital struggle to keep the approaches open. He meets Agnes Morley, the young widow who runs the Navy and Army Canteen, and they are immediately attracted to each other. He surprises her with his liberal attitude towards society and his cavalier disregard for authority, and their relationship grows ever stronger. One significant hurdle stands in their way, however, and that is her reluctance to leave her familiar surroundings and take up a new life with him in New Zealand. As the war continues with no sign of resolution, they wonder if they, too, will ever reach agreement.
