Barbara's War #4
A Long Way Back
A Long Way Back is the fourth book in the Barbara's War series. Alex Everton, Barbara's husband, now has his own story and it fills in the months he was missing, presumed dead.
For Squadron Leader Alex Everton dogfights in his Spitfire are a piece of cake compared to being an evader. It’s a long way back to Blighty.
A raid over Dieppe seems like a piece of cake for Squadron Leader Alex Everton. His squadron is in reserve—but the Luftwaffe have other ideas. When his Spitfire is shot down Alex bales out expecting to drown or be incarcerated in a German prisoner of war camp for the duration. Instead, he becomes an evader—if his luck holds he will be home with his beloved wife Babs eventually. It is a long way from Dieppe to Gibraltar and his journey is fraught with danger, disaster and difficulty.

Great Book
I read all books in your Barbara’s War series
As quickly as I could get thru them. Only one more to read. A really good storyline, I love what I call historical WW I and WW II stories I’ll be waiting for more. Thanks from a new reader. Fay

Review of ALong Way Back
I was disappointed in the series ending the way it did, so was thrilled to see the fourth book in the series with the story of Alex incarceration in the POW camps! The book told the story well! Thank you !

Brilliant book.
Another Fenella J Miller story of life and loves of the RAF personnel and their families . From Blighty to Europe and back home again. As a former Miltary Wife it is believable . Can't wait for the next book .

Story lost like Alex
Not anywhere near the story of the other books.
It seemed forced and unconnected in parts. Almost like a different author.

Great story
Enjoyed knowing what happened to Alex. The story of his capture and the capture of his fellow men was heartbreaking.
