Summary

Alice has always been the 'sensible' one in her family - especially in comparison with her women's-suffrage-supporting sister! But, decidedly against her father's wishes, she accepts a job at Foyles bookshop; being a bookworm, it's a dream come true for her. With the country at war, Alice's happy world is shattered in an instant. Determined to do what she can, Alice works in the bookshop by day, and risks her own life driving an ambulance around bomb-ravaged London by night. But however busy she keeps herself, she can't help but think of the constant danger those she loves are facing on the front line.
