The Invisible Piper

 A fascinating novel that shows you how ordinary people can become extraordinary during wartime. When Rob has to bale out of his burning Spitfire in 1940, his life explodes. In flashback, we meet a kaleidoscope of characters: Kate, his beautiful WAAF girlfriend, searching for love; Colin, his best friend, searching for food and friendship; Billie, a night-club singer, searching for sex; and ten-year-old Charlie; the most disarming character of all, searching for a hero and a home. It is Charlie who forces Rob to face the fear that lurks within us all. Linda M James writes real and touching characters going through exciting, testing times during WWII; if you're interested in the past, you'll love this book. – Maggie Gee, Vice-President of the Royal Society of Literature
