In 1936, as the threat of war loomed over Europe, Churchill gathered the brightest minds in Britain at a grand house in Suffolk. Bound by complete secrecy, they worked together on an invention that could mean victory for the Allies. Among them was Vic, a gifted but shy physicist who, for the first time, felt like he belonged.
Local girl Kathleen wanted to do more than serve tea and biscuits to ‘do her bit. So, when the Bawdsey team began to recruit women to operate their top-secret system, she dedicated herself to this life-or-death work. Kath and Vic formed an unlikely friendship as the skies over Britain filled with German bombers. Little did Kath know, just whose life she would change forever, one fateful night.
Under a Wartime Sky is an enthralling historical novel that will transport you to a time of bravery, innovation, and sacrifice. Liz Trenow has masterfully woven together real-life events with a compelling narrative, creating a story that is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
This novel is perfect for readers who enjoy historical fiction, particularly those who are interested in World War II and the development of radar technology. The characters are well-developed, and their journeys are filled with tension, drama, and unexpected twists.
Whether you are a history buff or simply looking for a compelling story, Under a Wartime Sky is a must-read. So, grab a copy and prepare to be transported back to a time when the fate of the world hung in the balance.
