The War Twins of London: A WWII Historical Fiction Novel (World War II Brave Women Fiction Book 2)
£5.63
Identical twins Maggie and Tillie are thriving in 1940s London. Waitresses in one of the city’s finest institutions and both with budding romances, the war could not feel farther away.
But, slowly, the tides begin to change. The war in Europe is creeping toward the UK, and the men are being called to aid in military efforts. Tillie’s fiancé Colin joins the RAF, flying dangerous missions over Germany, and Maggie’s childhood love Micah finds himself far away in France, with no way to return. Devastated but determined, the twins resolve to do their part for their country – Maggie in the Women’s Voluntary Service and Tillie for the British Red Cross.
Then, the Blitz begins. And everything changes.
Nightly airstrikes wreak havoc on the city, leaving ruin in their wake. Ambulance shifts for Tillie become desperate missions to pull injured women and children from the rubble, while the constant fear for the fates of their beloveds, far from home, is almost too much for the girls to bear.
And when tragedy strikes for both sisters, they know nothing will ever be the same again.
Will the twins be strong enough to protect themselves and the ones they love? And can true love really prevail when the skies are darkened by war?

by Rhys Williams
With a love of wartime novels, I purchased this book for my wife as a little gift.
She was hooked from the second she opened the book and has said she cannot wait for the sequel.

There are a few mistakes in this book. Simple research would have eliminated these. Good character building and details.
Overall very well written. I’m slightly picky when it comes to historical fiction but unbelievable most WWII books contain simple historical details that are incorrect or are Americanisms
by Kindle Customer ChrisDay
THIS BOOK IS SUCH A GOOD READ. WE GO THROUGH THE WAR WITH THE TWINS AND THEIR FAMILY AND LEARN MUCH OF WHAT LIFE AS AN AMBULANCE DRIVER WAS LIKE AND ALSO ALL THE WORK OF THE WVS. THE STORY TELLS OF LIFE IN LONDON THROUGHOUT WW2 AND THE FEAR AND GREAT COURAGE OF THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE. IF YOU LIKE. STORIES TOLD THROUGH THE WAR THEN YOU’LL LOVE THIS. A GREAT READ DEB STRATAS.

What a powerful book it gives a good insight to living in London during the blitz .You must read I could not put it down
by Wend
The story was good and obviously well researched but I found too many American words which spoilt the story for me. for instance fall instead of autumn, sidewalk instead of pavement pity the author didn’t check out the British language more thoroughly. Hence the 3stars

I read this book a long while ago but it was called something else and the story was a bit different, had I known I wouldn’t have bought it, I remember that Tilly came across the lighter that she gave Colin before he went off to war, but that wasn’t in this book,

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and felt like I was stepping back in time. Very accurate and interesting.
