Description
Charlotte Richmond's life is one of quiet routine: a steady job at the Ministry of Information, a friend to share secrets with, and an attic room of her own. But as enemy planes fly over the city, her grip on reality starts to slip. Is someone following her in the blackouts, or is her mind playing tricks on her? In a city where nothing is safe, it's hard to know who to trust. As the Blitz rages on, Charlotte's world becomes increasingly uncertain. She finds herself drawn to a mysterious figure - a boy who feeds the birds in the park. But as she tries to make sense of her surroundings, she begins to question everything. Can she rely on anyone, or is she truly alone? A gripping and moving tale of survival and self-discovery, The Midnight News is a pacey read that will keep you guessing until the very end.
