I am delighted to use this week's blurb to introduce you to a new name in the world of saga writing - Rose Warner. Rose is the new name for Jen Gilroy, who writes contemporary romantic/family stories set in North America, as well as dual-timeline tales.
The first book by Rose Warner is The Teacher Evacuees, which is the first in a wartime trilogy set in Norfolk.
Here's the blurb:
Canadian-born teacher Victoria McKaye takes up a new position at a London school, but soon finds herself coordinating its evacuation to a Norfolk village along with standoffish spinster Beatrice and quiet young Nell. Victoria has to adapt to life in the countryside, petty politics and local busybodies.
When she meets attractive naval officer Louis Grainger, romance blossoms. Victoria is drawn into a clandestine world and told that she is helping the British government, but after she catches Louis covertly meeting a suspicious stranger in nearby woods, she fears the worst – a traitor in their midst.
It’s a race against time for Victoria to discover the truth and keep the village – and the country – safe from invasion.

My review:
An emotionally satisfying story of new love, unexpected friendships and wartime courage, set against the backdrop of a beautifully described Norfolk setting. Victoria makes a sympathetic and interesting heroine - it's fascinating to have a Canadian perspective. Rose Warner handles her story deftly and realistically, warming your heart and making you smile in one chapter and then leaving you breathless at the drama in the next. A talented new voice in the world of sagas.
