WW2 Historical Fiction Spotlight: The Girl from the War Room, by Catherine Law

Available from Amazon UK and Amazon US

A evocative and beautifully written wartime story of 

love, duty and courage.

1941: A world away from idyllic childhood summers spent in Devon, Cassie Marsh steps through the sandbagged entrance to the War Room, determined to do her part for the war effort.

The air crackling with tension, the urgency of whispered conversations, the weight of secrets – nothing in her quiet upbringing has prepared her for this. Here, women like her are expected to work tirelessly, remain composed, even as their homes – and lives – are devastated by the Blitz.

But Cassie’s heart is already divided between love and duty. She dreams of rich summers at Greenaways from a lifetime ago, before her world was torn apart. She dreams of one person… the one she cannot – but must – forget.

And as her family begs her to return to safety, to the soothing, reassuring walls of the country house, Cassie must decide where her heart really lies. In times of war, can you ever afford to question your loyalty?

Praise for Catherine Law:

'From the first line, dripping with poignancy, The Map Maker's Promise had me hooked. Catherine Law's beautifully written tale of one woman's life, intense pain, and deep regret will stay with me for as long as the mist hovers over the Scottish Highlands. A perfect book.' Rachel Sweasey
