Two Wars
'My story starts with bombs...'
September 1939. The threat of war looms over Europe.
In Warsaw, fifteen-year-old Ella lies frozen with fear as the very first bombs explode across her city in the night. The following morning she is taken away from her home, friends and family and sent across Europe to live with her introverted uncle Alan in central London.
In London she begins to fall for young Air Raid Patrol boy James while the city prepares for war, before being evacuated again to a small Sussex village, where a sinister red-eyed shape has been seen patrolling the skies after dark.
Ella, along with local boy Ronnie, soon finds herself drawn into the hunt for a mysterious creature, unaware that what she unearths along the way could change including the course of the war itself.
Meanwhile Robert Ramsey - a reclusive veteran of World War One - learns that his country is once again about to go to war. In his own way, despite his age and ill-health, he sets out to protect Britain from the Nazis in whatever way he can.
Two Wars tells the tale of what happens when Ella and Robert’s stories entwine; a journey of war, love and mystery, and a small china elephant.
Two Wars is the latest thriller for young adults and older readers from Steven F. Galloway, author of bestselling Kindle hit The Lake and Sarah Dee Was Here.
