Dover, 1940With the Battle of Britain raging overhead and the German guns firing across the Channel, the people of Dover find themselves on the front line. But despite the danger, Nellie Castle is determined that the café will remain open, no matter what happens.
For Lily Castle, it is an exciting time as she starts her nursing career. Though the work is demanding, there is romance on the horizon, and she still finds time to enjoy herself. Until a prisoner escapes from the hospital and suddenly everything she holds dear – including her freedom – is put at risk.
Meanwhile there are strange goings-on at the café: rumours are circulating and secrets are exposed. Secrets that could tear the Castle family apart once and for all . . .
The Dover Cafe on the Front Line is the eargerly awaited second novel in the Dover Cafe series. The first, The Dover Cafe at War was a whopping success, and Frost Magazine sees an even bigger audience for The Dover Cafe on the Front Line.
Bell’s writing is full of energy and charm, and she handles her characters with gusto, creating a vibrant, tense but warm scenario which has us turning the pages quick as a flash, so eager are we to see ‘what happens’ next. Will Lily be all right? Will the cafe survive? So many ‘ifs’ ‘buts’ and ‘maybes’ just as there should be. Read it, join the girls of the Dover Cafe, enjoy and then wait for the next, as there is one in the pipeline I hear.
The Dover Cafe on the Front Line by Ginny Bell is in eBook here with the paperback due in September.
