Description
A Song At Twilight by Lilian Harry is set against the backdrop of a Devon airfield during World War II. In 1943, the quiet village of Harrowbeer is disrupted by increased activity at the nearby airfield, where pilots from Britain, Canada and Poland are stationed. As the airfield's noise and population impact the surrounding villages, two women form an unlikely bond: Alison, a pregnant wife whose husband is missing in action, and May, who finds herself drawn into the life of the RAF. As the night Alison's baby is born, her husband is reported missing, leaving Alison and May to face the uncertainty and fear that comes with losing a loved one. This powerful novel explores the lives of those affected by war, and the ways in which it can change people forever. With its vivid portrayal of life during wartime, A Song At Twilight is a moving and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in historical fiction.
