Description
A heart-wrenching story of love and sacrifice set against the backdrop of World War II. In September 1940, as enemy fighter planes darken the sky, Susan finds comfort in her home in Epping Forest, where she and her grandfather raise homing pigeons. Among them is Duchess, a bird with an extraordinary bond to Susan. Thousands of miles away, Ollie Evans travels to Britain to join the Royal Air Force, but instead finds himself part of a covert operation involving homing pigeons. The National Pigeon Service has a perilous mission to air-drop hundreds of pigeons into German-occupied France. As Ollie and Susan grow closer, they must soon be parted - but Duchess's devotion may prove an unexpected lifeline between them. Based on true events, this uplifting wartime novel reminds us that hope is never truly lost in times of hardship.
