1940. Having grown up surrounded by nature, Bella Gardner loves nothing more than getting her hands dirty. When war breaks out, she immediately signs up for the Air Transport Auxiliary, frustrated she can’t play a more active role, yet keen to do something for the war effort. But when her brother is involved in a tragic accident, Bella must make a decision that changes the course of her life forever.

2014. Archaeologist Jennifer Dawson is excited when she is told about an unrecovered World War 2 Spitfire but is shocked to discover that the body of the pilot is still inside the plane. Trying to avoid her own demons, Jennifer sets out to solve the mystery of the forgotten pilot – and finds that the answer might lie a lot closer to home…

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.
