 ***FROM CELIA IMRIE: STAR OF CELEBRITY TRAITORS ON BBC ONE!***

Bloomsbury presents Meet Me at Rainbow Corner, written and read by Celia Imrie.

‘Walking in time with the beat, clapping her hands, clicking her fingers. How could anyone resist the urge to dance? Dot swirled her Red Cross cape in time with the rhythm.’

London, 1944. The air raid sirens are blaring, bombers are hovering. The war with Germany has been raging for four years and there’s no sign of peace coming.

Dot Gallagher is newly arrived from Liverpool and working as a nurse. During an air strike, she encounters an enthralling group of American GIs who tell her all about Rainbow Corner, a social club for US troops in Piccadilly – it’s a wartime oasis where they can forget their fears, fall in and out of love and dance the nights away.

It’s here that Dot finds a new best friend in Lilly. And together, against the stark realities of war, they must learn to face their fears, uncover secrets and discover the true meaning of love.

Another fantastic book by Celia Imrie, she never fails to deliver. Having her narrate the book also makes it extra special. The story is so interesting and you really do live through it with the characters. Knowing it’s based on real people’s story really adds something to it. Wonderful
info from Fidelis, what a team. Orphans of the Storm and now Meet me at Rainbow Corner, I can’t wait for the next book!!
