Robert Webber has once again written a splendid novel of WW2 that grabbed me from the very first page. Alex and Teddy Carlton feel like old friends now and this time the spotlight is on Teddy and her time with the ATA.
Robert Webber's research is thorough and he completely captures the atmosphere of war on the home front down to the tiniest detail. I can't think of any contemporary author in the genre who writes even half as well as he does.
The characterization is complex and compelling. The author throws everything into the mix: Amy Johnson, Clark Gable and Camp coffee. What more could any reader want?
3 stars. While at times an interesting story of a female pilot's WW2 experiences, I found my self skimming large sections.
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
For those who enjoy learning about key events in history while also enjoying a good story, this is a good choice. The perspective of a female pilot in WWII is a fascinating one and the author does well to share the character’s experiences in a way which rings true to the very unusual time and context. will give the other titles in this series a go now, too.
Was so pleased to see another book in this series, and even better as it shows Alex’s wife, Teddy, war efforts. As with the previous books it is great read for those who love the details of history. In Teddy’s War we get a glimpse into the lives of women in WWII, especially those who loved to fly, but were too “delicate” to be part of the air force. It shows the progression of planes, how women were a big part of the ATA (Air Transport Auxiliary) – and it also shows the effects war has on mental health.
Thank you to NetGalley and Matador for letting me have an early read in exchange for my opinion.
