Letters To Alice
Rosie James
- Dear
- Alice,
- dreadful
- news
- was
- told
- to
- me
- today…
- Bristol,
- 1941:
- Alice
- Watts
- leaves
- the
- shell-shocked
- city
- for
- her
- new
- life
- as
- a
- Land
- Girl
- on
- Home
- Farm.
- It’s
- a
- completely
- different
- from
- her
- quiet
- old
- world,
- but
- she’s
- determined
- to
- do
- her
- part.
- And
- the
- back-breaking
- work
- is
- made
- bearable
- with
- the
- help
- from
- her
- two
- new
- friends
- -
- bold,
- outspoken
- Fay
- and
- quiet,
- guarded
- Evie
- -
- and
- the
- letters
- that
- arrive
- from
- her
- childhood
- friend,
- Sam.
- To
- Alice,
- Sam
- was
- always
- more
- than
- just
- a
- friend,
- but
- as
- the
- son
- of
- her
- wealthy
- employer,
- she
- never
- dared
- dream
- he
- could
- be
- more…
- But
- at
- least
- ever
- letter
- brings
- reassurance
- that
- he’s
- still
- alive
- and
- fighting
- on
- the
- frontline…
- Because
- it’s
- when
- all
- goes
- quiet
- on
- the
- letter
- front
- that
- nothing
- seems
- certain
- and
- it’s
- a
- reminder
- of
- how
- life
- –
- and
- hearts
- –
- are
- so
- fragile.
- A
- tale
- of
- true
- courage
- and
- the
- power
- of
- sheer
- determination,
- this
- un-put-downable
- WWII
- set
- saga
- is
- filled
- with
- warmth,
- humour
- and
- heart-wrenching
- emotion.
- Perfect
- for
- fans
- of
- Nadine
- Dorries,
- Katie
- Flynn
- and
- Dilly Court.
