A heart-breaking and moving story of love and sacrifice, set
against the backdrop of the Blitz. Inspired by true events, and
perfect for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Guernsey
Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and Dear Mrs Bird *** Is love
strong enough to survive a war? September 1940. As enemy fighter
planes blacken the sky, Susan Shepherd finds comfort at her home in
Epping Forest, where she and her grandfather raise homing pigeons.
Of all Susan's birds, it's Duchess who is the most extraordinary,
and the two share a special bond. Thousands of miles away, Ollie
Evans, a young American pilot decides to travel to Britain to join
the Royal Air Force. But Ollie doesn't expect his quest to bring
him instead to the National Pigeon Service - a covert new operation
involving homing pigeons - and to Susan. The National Pigeon
Service has a dangerous mission to air-drop hundreds of pigeons
into German-occupied France. Despite their growing friendship Ollie
and Susan must soon be parted - but will Duchess's devotion and
sense of duty prove to be an unexpected lifeline between them?
Based on true events, The Long Flight Home is an uplifting and
timeless wartime novel, that reminds us how, in times of hardship,
hope is never truly lost.
