Lydia Miller, daughter of a German doctor, is training to become a nurse when she first meets debonair Robert Ravening, the nephew of a Lord and a keen aviator and promptly falls in love.

When the Great War begins in 1914, Robert enlists with the Royal Flying Corps and as a nurse, determined to help all she can, Lydia is sent to France.

But her love affair with Robert has more than one consequence as secrets and sins are disclosed.

Also being both British and German Lydia finds herself in No Man’s Land, suspected by one and imprisoned by the other.

From the Publisher

Dear Readers,

Let me take you back to a time when the lives of ordinary women were changed as never before.

I used to listen with avid interest as my mother and others told me of their wartime experiences, the fear, the shortages, the blackout and the sudden changes in their lives. Factory girls, typists, debutantes and housewives left the home front and took up nursing, ambulance driving, fire watching and much more. En masse they left the home front behind and took up duties on the war front. These are the women whose stories I tell – whether they are keeping the home fires burning or serving on the war front.

Despite everything, they still found time to have fun, to love whether for the moment or such love that lasts a lifetime.

I hope you too will come with me and follow these very ordinary girls of whom much was asked and a lot given.

Lizzie Lane

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lizzie Lane has written over fifty books a number of which have appeared in the top thirty best selling paperbacks and the Heatseekers charts. Her pet interest is WW2, how little people carried on regardless against the biggest upheaval the world had ever known. She mentions at one stage about how it seemed Britain was sinking beneath the weight of weaponry and allied soldiers from all over the world.

Born and raised in Bristol, a number of her family were involved in the tobacco industry which at one time employed 13,000 people in the city. This is the inspiration behind her latest series, The Tobacco Girls which is set against those five years of war and follows their lives and loves, their hope for survival and better times to come.

Everything is fine until the outbreak of war

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2014

Verified Purchase

I rarely read World War One books preferring World War Two so I know less about it. It starts quite normally, nothing to do with war. The daughter of a German doctor and English mother. What could be missed are the facts about how the world is changing, cars replacing horses etc., the appearance of the telephone and aeroplanes. Everything is fine until the outbreak of war. People choose sides and the heroine finds herself caught in the middle. Her engagement appears broken and she is unsure of exactly where she belongs as far as home is concerned. It becomes dangerous when she helps wounded soldiers escape from occupied Belgium. Capture means death.

did not really like the characters

I could not get into this book at first.....did not really like the characters. However as the book moved on it become more enjoyable. I myself much prefer World War 2 books to read.Though I was to young for the war my own parents talked about it and I can relate to it much better then the First World War.

Like I said once I reached half way through the book it became much more enjoyable.
