The Chalky Sea (The Canadians Book 1)

Description

In July 1940, Gwen Collingwood drops her husband off at the railway station, knowing she may never see him again. Two days later, her humdrum world is torn apart when her sleepy English seaside town is subjected to the first of many heavy bombing attacks.

In Ontario, Canada, Jim Armstrong is uncertain whether to volunteer for the army. When he uncovers the secret his fiancée has been keeping from him, his decision is clear. A few weeks later, he is on a ship bound for England.

Gwen is forced to confront the truth about her past and her own feelings for her husband. Jim battles with a bewildering and hostile world far removed from the cosy life of his Canadian farm.
