Nikki Marmery, On Wilder Seas ____________ 1936. Civil war in
Spain. A world on the brink of chaos ... Twenty-one-year-old Lucy
is frustrated with her constrained life in Hertfordshire, teaching
and keeping house for her domineering father. But she is happy to
be living next door to Tom and Jamie, two brothers she has known
since childhood, and whom she loves equally. But her life is turned
upside down when Tom decides he must travel to Spain to fight in
the bloody Spanish Civil War. He is quickly followed by Jamie who,
much to Lucy's despair, is supporting General Franco. To the dismay
of her irascible father, Lucy decides that the only way to bring
her boys back safely is to travel to Spain herself to persuade them
to come home. Yet when she sees the horrific effects of the war,
she quickly becomes immersed in the lifesaving work the Quakers are
doing to help the civilian population, many of whom are refugees.
As the war progresses and the situation becomes increasingly
perilous, Lucy realises that the challenge going forward is not so
much which brother she will end up with, but whether any of them
will survive the carnage long enough to decide ... ____________
