Description
Blacked-out city, autumn 1940. Ambulance driver Elinor Brooke races from bomb sites to hospitals, trying to save the lives of injured survivors, alongside former friend Kit Neville and her husband Paul, who works as an air-raid warden. As the bombing intensifies, old loves and obsessions resurface, leading Elinor to face an almost impossible choice. Writing about the Second World War for the first time, Pat Barker brings the besieged city of London into vivid life. Her trilogy, Life Class, Toby's Room, Noonday, is a powerful exploration of art and war, of human heart and resilience in the face of conflict. In this final novel, Barker masterfully weaves together the threads of Elinor's story, creating an unforgettable tale of love, loss, and survival.
