Echoes of War - Böcker

September 1916. War overturns every life it touches. In the Tower of London, two men await execution for espionage – only one of them is guilty. In Cheshire, their fate entwines with that of two women at Dunstam Hall Military Hospital.Laura, an upper-class nurse newly returned from tragedy in Egypt, and Annie, a Lancashire postmistress tending her wounded husband, are drawn together by guilt, chance and necessity. When Laura realises she’s to blame for the arrest of the innocent man, she turns to Annie for help. But as Zeppelins haunt the night sky, saving him may cost them everything. Sweeping back to 1913, secrets, betrayals, and wartime loyalties unfold: a privileged world unravels, a marriage is tested, and a charming stranger - the true spy- casts a shadow as dark as the approaching Zeppelin.Shadows in the Starry Air is a gripping novel of love, deception, the quiet bravery of ordinary people caught in the machinery of war. And the thin, bright line of connection that can alter a destiny.
