Bill’s sister Nora gets a job at the internment camps on the island and meets Tilly who recruits her to act as go between and give Jacob any information she finds out. They discover a Nazi plot to kidnap the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, but are they in time?
Reviews for the Book
Carole wrote the true story of my dad from information I’d given her over 6 years about his childhood, full day 1 to the last day of WW2 in the Royal Navy and PTSD and how it effected his life. I told her about the extraordinary events in my Aunts life and from that we agreed their stories would be best told within a novel. Then a second novel, then a third and then a fourth. A great read and photos. - Robert Young
