Deborah has written a fine tribute to the men and women who served in the London Auxiliary Ambulance Service during the war. They faced horrific situations in the London Blitz and risked their own lives to save others and help the wounded to safety.
Young, pretty and brave Australian Lily Brennan joins the Bloomsbury Auxiliary Ambulance Service while living in London. The Bloomsbury branch has a very social mix of volunteers. Lily is partnered with David Levy disliked by many at the station because he is Jewish. Lily and David become close colleagues so when David disappears in mysterious circumstances Lily suspects foul play and is suspicious of her fellow workers.
Lily has had an unhappy love life and is not looking for a new relationship but when she is introduced to Jim, a white Russian RAF pilot, her life begins to change.
Deborah’s book allows readers to feel, smell and realise some of the horrors and destruction dropped on London in 1940 during the months of the German air invasion on London.
