“An admirably ambitious … and beautifully told story of intersecting lives and histories. Poetic and beautiful prose. The connections across space and time are what really spark and make the novel fly.” Kirkus Reviews
London Airport, 1956. Charlotte Bradbury, trapped by her past amid the Jet Age bustle, remains haunted by memories of love and death during the Blitz, and the enigmatic Icelandic airman who vanished a year after she nursed him back to life.
Dotted around the terminal, a handful of strangers whose lives will be forever linked by the tragedy that rolls in with the snowstorm, and the decades each spends attempting to unravel its remarkable connections and mysteries.
From wartime Piccadilly Circus to a remote Icelandic shoreline as Eyjafjallajökull erupts in 2010, London Skies is a sweeping story of family secrets, lost loves, and unravelling the past.
