The Air Raid Book Club

As the bombs began to fall, the book club kept their hopes alive...

London, 1938.

Bookseller Gertie Bingham is still grappling with the unimaginable loss of her beloved husband, Harry, and with the lingering sadness of never having had a child of her own. Struggling to run the cherished bookshop she and Harry opened together by herself, Gertie is preparing to sell up and move to the coast, until she is asked to take in a young Jewish refugee.

When headstrong fifteen-year-old Hedy Fischer arrives at her door, Gertie fears she has nothing left to give the troubled girl. But when the Blitz begins and the lights go out over London, Gertie and Hedy realise that joining forces will make them stronger in the face of adversity, and that books have the power to unite a community in its darkest hour . . .
