This new work of historical fiction is a fascinating look into wartime romance set on a relatively unknown stage during World War Two. It follows the lives of two protagonists from Wales, a courageous Spitfire pilot and a nurse working in a cutting-edge experimental burn unit of the Queen Victoria Hospital- "the Queen Vic"-in East Grinstead, south of London.
East Grinstead became known as the "town that didn't stare" in support of RAF and RCAF pilots who formed a club called the Guinea Pigs, as they were among the first to receive experimental plastic surgery in recovering from severe burns suffered in combat.
Many long-lasting love affairs took place during the war and this novel tells the story of one of them in captivating tenderness. Against the background of war, the author's narrative will keep the reader spellbound, as his primary plot twists and weaves in an emotional roller coaster.
