Flight of the Lark, the sequel to Valerie Mendes’ best-selling Larkswood, reunites us with the Hamilton family at the outbreak of the Second World War.
Louisa Hamilton plans to train as a Red Cross nurse in her grandfather’s brand new hospital.
Thomas Saunders longs to grow wings as a young fighter pilot with the RAF.
Edward Hamilton spots a green-eyed evacuee at the station, takes the child home – and then he meets Michael’s mother.
In Calcutta, left alone in the heat and dust, William Hamilton protects his secret life and makes a big decision.
And what of Larkswood itself? Will the house become a clandestine meeting place? Who visits it and why?
And what will happen to the lovers? Neither Louisa nor Thomas can predict the problems they will have to face – nor whether their young love affair can survive the chaotic madness of war.
