Under a Wartime Sky is an enthralling historical novel by Liz
Trenow, based on real-life events at a top-secret wartime research
station. Telling the story of the heroes behind the discovery of
radar, it's perfect for readers of Kate Furnivall and Rachel Hore.
Bawdsey Manor holds a secret. 1936: the threat of war hangs over
Europe. Churchill gathers the brightest minds in Britain at a grand
house in Suffolk. Bound to complete secrecy, they work together on
an invention that could mean victory for the Allies. Among them is
Vic, a gifted but shy physicist who, for the first time, feels like
he belongs. Local girl Kathleen wants to do more than serving tea
and biscuits to 'do her bit'. So when the Bawdsey team begin to
recruit women to operate their top secret system, she dedicates
herself to this life-or-death work. Kath and Vic form an unlikely
friendship as the skies over Britain fill with German bombers.
Little does Kath know just whose life she will change forever, one
fateful night . . . Based on the real history of Bawdsey Manor,
Under a Wartime Sky is a novel about courage, belonging and hope.
