Description
The Magic Army by Leslie Thomas In 1939, the war was expected to be over by Christmas. Yet, four years later, Britain is still fighting, and another year of conflict looms ahead. Meanwhile, in Devon, a surprise invasion is underway - not from Germany, but from an army of Americans who have arrived with military precision. The arrival of these American troops has brought chaos to the small coastal villages, as they are forced to adapt to a new way of life. The clash between cultures is often humorous, sometimes painful, and frequently puzzling. As the sounds of war echo through the streets and the local church plays music from Glenn Miller's repertoire, the boundaries between Americans and English are pushed to the limit. This novel explores the complex relationships that develop between these two groups, as they navigate their differences in a time of war.
