From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer
Robson—author of Moonlight Over Paris and
Somewhere in France—comes a lush historical novel
that tells the fascinating story of Ruby Sutton, an
ambitious American journalist who moves to London in 1940 to
report on the Second World War, and to start a new life an
ocean away from her past. In the summer of 1940, ambitious young American journalist
Ruby Sutton gets her big break: the chance to report on the
European war as a staff writer for Picture Weekly
newsmagazine in London. She jumps at the chance, for it's an
opportunity not only to prove herself, but also to start
fresh in a city and country that know nothing of her humble
origins. But life in besieged Britain tests Ruby in ways she
never imagined. Although most of Ruby's new colleagues welcome her, a few
resent her presence, not only as an American but also as a
woman. She is just beginning to find her feet, to feel at
home in a country that is so familiar yet so foreign, when
the bombs begin to fall. As the nightly horror of the Blitz stretches unbroken into
weeks and months, Ruby must set aside her determination to
remain an objective observer. When she loses everything but
her life, and must depend upon the kindness of strangers,
she learns for the first time the depth and measure of true
friendship—and what it is to love a man who is burdened by
secrets that aren’t his to share. Goodnight from London, inspired in part by the
wartime experiences of the author’s own grandmother, is a
captivating, heartfelt, and historically immersive story
that readers are sure to embrace.
