Noonday

In Noonday, Pat Barker – the Man Booker-winning author of the definitive World War I trilogy, Regeneration – turns for the first time to World War II.

London, the Blitz, autumn 1940. As the bombs fall on the blacked-out city, ambulance driver Elinor Brooke races from bomb sites to hospitals trying to save the lives of injured survivors, working alongside former friend Kit Neville, while her husband Paul works as an air-raid warden.
