This is a very pleasant story to read.
It is about a young nurse by the name of April whose only living relative is her father.
After the bombing raids in London she decides to move to Turo in search of her family's past while resuming her training at the local hospital. She is living in outside accommodation with a lady called Mrs Teague who becomes to regard her as her daughter.
Then the Americans arrive and liven up Turo in more ways than one. As the story unfolds it tells of the difficulties the black servicemen had to endure and the white girls who fell in love with them. The nurses at the hospital are a mixed bunch in their attitudes to each other and April finds one girl in particular very hard to deal with.
The author also gives the reader a little extra bonus after the end of the story....A recipe for Cheese and Potato Pie which I fully intend to make as it sounds delicious.
