The Flying Cavalier

The House of Winslow #23

by Gilbert Morris

THE HOUSE OF WINSLOW / BOOK 23 All the Love and the Joy of Days Gone by Had Turned Against Him in a Soul-Destroying Fury. [book title] Convinced that airplanes are about to change the nature of military warfare, Lieutenant Lance Winslow of the British Royal Flying Corps goes to France to train with the best fliers in the world. On Christmas Eve of 1908, he meets Noelle Laurent on the snowy streets of Paris and falls in love at first sight. Their marriage brings tremendous joy into his life, but their love cannot stop the Great War's approach...nor can his plane stop every German bomber that crosses the English Channel. In the spring of 1914, Josephine Hellinger quits her job with the New York to become a free-lance war correspondent in France. Knowing that she would never be sent as a female journalist on such a dangerous assignment, she is emboldened to strike out on her own to cover the war through her front-line stories and photographs. When Josephine meets Lance Winslow, he is hardly the same pilot who married a lovely French bride five years before. Out of the bitterness of personal tragedy, he lives only to hate Germans and to kill as many as he can in combat. Can Josephine make a difference before it's too late?

Reviews

[Darla · Rating 5 out of 5]

Normally, I’m not crazy about books with multiple lead people. I’d much rather be focused on the main 1-2 characters. Somehow, Gilbert Morris, accomplished this exact thing in this book. Several main characters that mingle, fall apart, then come back together in that beautiful dance that is called life

Lance and Logan join the French foreign legion, getting into flying. Jo, the photographer and newspaper writer, goes with them, and Danielle is there as a nurse.

This is a good book about a man, Lance Winslow who is still grieving the lost of his wife when he meets American reporter Jo Hellinger. He starts to deal with his wife's death after meeting Jo. He also meets a distant cousin of his, Logan Smith who becomes a flyer in Lance's regiment.

This series by Gilbert Morris is one of my absolute favorites. Each book follows at least one member of a generation in the Winslow family tree and the member(s) gets saved and finds true love. There's also some commentary on the social conditions of the time frame. Truly interesting.
