The story opens in 1939, as Kate Sheridan
leaves her home and strict parents in rural Ireland to live with her aunt and
uncle in London. This move allows Kate an element of freedom she has never had
before, but England is on the cusp of war and London is no longer a safe haven.
When Kate meets the devilishly handsome Flight Lieutenant Charlie Butler during
an air raid, the course of both their lives is changed forever. What then follows is a story which follows the
lives of both Kate and Charlie during the course of the war. They face many difficulties,
and their love affair is subject to, not just the challenge of separation, but
also bears the burden of parental disapproval and the heartbreak of loss on a grand
scale.
Into the Unknown is a
sympathetic look at the uncertainty of life during the Second World War. The characters are believable; I found both Kate
and Charlie to be worthy protagonists and enjoyed watching their characters
grow in maturity as the novel progressed. Their individual wartime experiences
are sensitively explored and their thoughts and feelings are both realistic and
thought provoking.
I really enjoyed the story and
was absorbed from the beginning in the way Kate and Charlie's lives
progressed. I genuinely cared about what happened to them, and testament to
the author’s storytelling skill, I read the book almost in one sitting, as I
wanted to find out how the story progressed.
Well worth reading of you enjoy well written WW2 historical romances.
Into the Unknown will be published on 5 May 2015
My thanks to the author for sharing her book with me in advance of its publication
