O tej zvočni knjigi

It is 1939 and working class Evie Bishop has received a scholarship to study mathematics at Oxford when tragedy turns her life upside down. Evie must seek a new future for herself and, inspired to contribute to the war effort, joins the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force as an Ops Room plotter. Posted to a fighter station on the Sussex Coast, Evie befriends two other WAAFs – shy, awkward May and flirty, glamorous Jess. Faced with earning the approval of strict officers and finding their way in a male dominated world, the three girls band together to overcome challenges, navigate new romances and keep their pilots safe in the skies. But the German bombers seem to know more than they should about the base’s operations and soon Evie, May and Jess are caught up in a world more dangerous than they ever imagined ...

O avtorju

Vicki Beeby writes historical fiction about the friendships and loves of service women brought together by the Second World War. Her first job was as a civil engineer on a sewage treatment project, so things could only improve from there. Since then, she has worked as a maths teacher and education consultant before turning freelance to give herself more time to write. In her free time, when she can drag herself away from reading, she enjoys walking and travelling to far-off places by train. She lives in Shropshire in a house that doesn’t contain nearly enough bookshelves.

Eleanor Yates is a London-based actor who trained at The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Since graduating in 2010, Eleanor has worked in film, television and theatre; from period dramas including Mike Leigh's Mr Turner and The Crimson Petal and the White (BBC) to classical plays and new writing such as Versailles (Donmar Warehouse), Pride and Prejudice (Sheffield Crucible) and Closer Scrutiny (The Orange Tree). Her most recent roles were in Hugo Blick's Black Earth Rising (BBC2/Netflix) and Harlot's (Hulu).
