About it
Details. Condition: New. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9781035401062. Publisher: Headline Review. Age Range: Adult / Young Adult (16+). Overview. The Air Raid Book Club is Annie Lyons' uplifting historical novel set in London at the outbreak of the Second World War. It follows bookseller Gertie Bingham, grieving the loss of her husband and quietly considering selling the shop they built together, whose life is transformed when she takes in a young Jewish refugee. Together they discover the comfort and courage found in shared stories, forming an unlikely book club that becomes a lifeline for their community as the war closes in around them. A tender, hopeful read for fans of wartime fiction.. About the Book. London, 1938. Bookseller Gertie Bingham is facing difficult times, having just lost her beloved husband, Harry, and with a lingering sadness at never having been able to have a child of her own. Struggling to face running the bookshop she and Harry opened together, Gertie is preparing to sell up and move away when she is asked to take in Hedy Fischer, a sullen teenage refugee newly arrived from Germany. Wary of each other at first, the two women slowly form a bond over the books that line Gertie's shelves, and Gertie begins a book club that draws together an eclectic group of neighbours and friends. As the Blitz descends on London, the book club becomes a source of solace and solidarity, and Gertie and Hedy find that even in the darkest days there is hope, connection and the enduring power of stories to bring people together. Warm, moving and beautifully observed, this paperback edition captures the resilience of ordinary people during extraordinary times, and celebrates the small acts of kindness and community that helped Britain through the war. It is a story about grief, friendship, found family, and the quiet bravery of everyday life, told with humanity and warmth throughout.. Uplifting, character-driven WWII historical fiction. Perfect for book club discussion an
