This is the story of two ordinary people, Emma, a doctor at St Thomas's Hospital in London and Roger, a police detective.
Emma and Roger live through extraordinary times and confront unimaginable hardship. It is an inspirational story that will transport you back to 1939, the outbreak of World War Two, to the chaos and destruction of the Blitz, the Balham Tube Station disaster, the many times that St Thomas's Hospital was bombed, and the serial killer who roamed the streets of London in the blackout.
Their story is all the more compelling because the principal events occurred precisely as described. Before the bombing, the nurses' home at St Thomas's Hospital occupied the space depicted on the front cover of this book. The emptiness of that space reaches out across the ages. In the story, Emma and Roger don't consider themselves heroes; they want nothing more than to find love and happiness. But together, they represent the triumph of the human spirit; they are two of the Greatest Generation.
Meticulously researched and written by the author of the successful "None Stood Taller" series, this book is dedicated to those who were killed in the bombing of St Thomas's Hospital and in the Balham Tube Station disaster, and to the victims of the serial killer Gordon Cummins.
