Description
Under an English Heaven by Robert Radcliffe In 1943, the quiet Suffolk village of Bedenham is transformed when an American bomber base arrives, bringing with it three thousand new residents. For Billy Street, this unexpected influx brings opportunities and acceptance he's long been searching for. However, Billy's newfound happiness is complicated by secrets from his past and the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Heather Garrett, whose husband has gone missing. Meanwhile, the village is gripped by fear as the skies fill with bombers on perilous missions. For one troubled pilot, John Hooper, leading his crew through their designated bombing runs becomes a personal quest for redemption. As the autumn of 1943 wears on, the villagers and American servicemen must navigate their differences and confront the harsh realities of war.
