THE AIRLINE GIRL
The war has ended, but the evidence of its devastation is evident on the streets of London. Audrey, a nineteen-year-old recently unemployed, is now tasked with helping her mother at home after she was injured in the bombings. Meanwhile, her fiancé, Martin, urges her to focus on their future together.
However, Audrey yearns for more than just raising a family and maintaining a tidy home. She applies for a job as an airline stewardess, but Martin adamantly opposes it, wanting her to stay home and raise a family. The airline, however, strictly prohibits hiring married women. Faced with a crossroads in her life, Audrey must make a decision soon.
“The Airline Girl,” a captivating post-war story by Lizzie Page, explores themes of survival and the relentless pursuit of happiness. While the book initially broke my heart, it ultimately restored my faith in humanity. Audrey’s character and the choices she makes for her future are truly inspiring.
This is a phenomenal story of how people moved on with what little they had left after the war had ended. They were so resilient and strong in rebuilding their new life and create a better future, from the ashes and the rubble. I loved this book from cover to cover and I highly recommend it.
