Under an Amber Sky

Two sisters manage to escape their tragic beginnings, but heartbreak is never far away.

A wonderfully eventful and colourful picture of life in wartime London, Under an Amber Sky is a compelling wartime tale from much-loved saga writer, Pam Evans. Perfect for fans of Sheila Newberry and Dilly Court.

For the Porters and the Mills, family and friendship are the glue that binds everything together. So when the Porters’ home is destroyed in the Blitz and only seventeen-year-old Nell and her little sister Pansy survive, all their lives are shattered. Peg Mills is determined to look after her best friend’s daughters and, in time, the girls begin to thrive – Pansy, evacuated to the countryside and to Peg’s loving mother, and Nell in her new job at the local newspaper. But trouble is on its way. Nell discovers her handsome suitor Gus Granger is hiding a dangerous secret. And, just when she needs him the most, her closest confidant Ed Mills is declared missing in action. Nell suddenly realises that Ed means much more to her than just a friend. But will she ever see him again to tell him her true feelings?
