Winner of the RNA romantic saga award 2021
An inspiring and uplifting tale of women on the home front, for fans of Nancy Revell and Vicki Beeby. By the author of Lily's War.
On the ground, the crowd of men stood with their mouths agape, watching the wings soar into the air, the tail kept impressively steady, and the small plane with a woman at the controls disappearing into the May sunshine.
It's 1942, and Bobby Hollis has joined the Air Transport Auxiliary in a team known as the glamour girls - amazing women who pilot aircraft all around the country. Bobby always wanted to escape life on the family farm and the ATA seemed like the perfect opportunity for her. But there's always something standing in her way. Like a demanding father, who wants to marry her off to a rich man. And the family secrets that threaten to engulf everything.
As Bobby navigates her way through life and love, she has to learn that controlling a huge, four-engined bomber might just be easier than controlling her own life.
What a brilliant read! Shirley Mann has given such a well-researched and comprehensive picture of the lives of the courageous women of the ATA, and Bobby is a wonderful heroine. Brave, clever, and opinionated, I absolutely loved spending time with her.
Ginny Bell, author of The Dover Cafe at War, "Shirley Mann has given us in Bobby Hollis an inspiration. Plucky and resourceful as she delivers her WW2 aircraft, Bobby is exactly the sort of person you'd want at your side in real life today. This is a perfect read when all you want to do is curl up to enjoy a lovely novel. Brava!"
Kitty Danton, author of The Evacuee Christmas, "Rich in period detail, nostalgia, intrigue, romance, and the realities of life in a perilous and unpredictable corner of the world. A must-read for fans of historical fiction and romance."
