DescriptionKathryn Haig - Apple Blossom Time  When WW 2 erupts Laura finds herself volunteering like many and is shipped to Egypt as a code breaker along with her close girlfriends. Spanning the length of the second world war conflict, the bittersweet novel gives readers a definite insight on the staggering cost to British forces as they fight to stop Rommel's advance in North Africa. Many of those young soldiers gave their life for King and Country in the faraway desert whilst thousands of miles away British soil was mercilessly bombarded leaving countless homeless. Kathryn Haig's protagonists easily win readers' hearts as they struggle throughout the conflict and come home to civilian life, often suffering of one form or another of PTSD. Reading about the myriad of little details regarding everyday life from rationing to victory gardens, sometimes on extensive manor grounds, brought a stark reality to the novel and its romantic overtone is done with good taste. The war has come to an end for Laura, answers must be sought at all cost and when she finds a BEF officer's uniform along with a packet of letters in her grandmother's attic, her quest truly begins.
