The Same Sky by Adrian Dane β an epic WWI & WWII family saga. FREE Monday 6 & Tuesday 7 July
Genre: Historical fiction / family saga / war fiction
Two families. Two wars. One sky.
November 1916: a German airship falls in flames over the Essex marshes, and the Englishman who shot it down lifts a brass compass out of the mud β with a German name engraved on the back. One family keeps an instrument-maker's workshop on a German lake; the other keeps a boatyard on the Kent shingle. Both want exactly the same things β a warm kitchen, a full table, the boy home safe β and twice the century sets them against each other: the fathers over one war, their sons a generation later in the same summer sky over Kent. A compass and a diary cross the Channel between them for sixty years, until a young mother clearing her grandmother's house opens a biscuit tin and finds a stranger's name where her family's story should be.
For readers of All the Light We Cannot See, Birdsong, The Nightingale and The Book Thief.
