Bøger af Pamela Norsworthy

Ten year-old Colin Clarke boards a train bound for the British countryside, where strangers have agreed to safeguard him from the bombs soon to darken London skies. His mother, Beryl, remains in London, her work as a nurse exacting a mounting toll as she tends the wounds of those caught in the ferocious bombing. Beryl desperately misses her son, as well as her husband, Gordon, a soldier captured in the early days of the war. Her friendship with an American pilot, Jack, eases her loneliness and sense of overwhelm, their attachment deepening until it crosses a line. Gordon, meanwhile, a POW in Poland, has formed an improbable liaison of his own. He has caught the eye of Annalise, wife of the camp commandant. She believes Gordon can help her escape Poland and a marriage that stifles her. Together, they can forge an utterly new life--if Gordon is willing to forsake all he's known. Will he follow Annalise--and save himself? If he makes it back to England, will Beryl still be waiting?--
