What We Did in the War
Can you ever let go of the past? Two women unhappy with their lives seize a chance to start over during a WWII bombing raid, in this dramatic and suspenseful novel.
London, 1944: As bombs start raining from the sky, two women rush out of a restaurant, leaving their possessions behind. Their chance meeting amid the chaos and destruction will have long-lasting consequences. Both beset by desperate problems, they take advantage of the wartime chaos to escape their humdrum lives and start again. .
Sticking together, the pair live under the radar, using a stolen ration book to feed themselves and relying on a street kid's help to get by. Cecil eventually finds work, while glamorous, feckless Claude looks after the flat-or doesn't. Gradually their friendship sours and resentment creeps in. Just as Cecil is wondering whether she should ever have trusted Claude in the first place, she makes a shocking discovery-one that will expose a web of secrets, lead to an act of violence, and set the two on separate and very different paths.
Praise for The Clockmaker's Wife, written by the author under the name Daisy Wood:
"A ticking time-bomb of intrigue, wrapped around stark but rich descriptions of the Blitz. An unforgettable wartime debut." -Mandy Robotham, international bestselling author of The Berlin Girl
