I had the pleasure of meeting Corin a few weeks ago when her husband came for a pleasure flight in a Spitfire I was ground crewing with. As we chatted about the aircraft and got her husband kitted up, Corin mentioned she’d written a book about a Spitfire pilot and gave me the name. I looked it up as soon as I was home and was hooked within minutes. Corin, I absolutely loved it! The perfect balance of history and romance with some wonderful twists and turns and so very very poignant. The narration was brilliant too. This book will appeal to lovers many different genres, I can’t recommend it highly enough and I’m waiting with bated breath to see what Corin comes up with next!

A wonderful story! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Life, love and loss in the 1940s and the present day. Great original story line expertly narrated. I love this Authors knowledge and the research she has undertaken to make this a truly encapsulating story, that I didn't want to put down. I loved her first novel, and this one didn't disapoint. I'm now waiting excitedly for what's to come.

Brilliant historical/war novel where the 1940s collide with the present day.
