Nominated for the 2025 Georgia Author of the Year for First Novel "If you were trying to meld Kristin Hannah's romance and action from The Nightingale with Anthony Doerr's poignant empathy and impeccable research in All the Light We Cannot See into one read, Pamela Norsworthy's War Bonds is your book of the year!" -Cam Torrens, author of the Tyler Zahn suspense series 1939: As Hitler's Panzers storm the Polish border, a small boy boards a train bound for the British countryside, where strangers will safeguard him from the bombs soon to darken London skies. The boy's mother, Beryl, a hospital nurse, stays back to tend to the shredding wounds inflicted by the lethal German assault. Her depleting days are made worse when she learns her husband, Gordon, has become a prisoner of war, interned at a camp deep in the Reich. Beryl forges a bond-tenuous and complicated-with an American pilot who helps mitigate her anguish over the husband and son she misses deeply. As their relationship intensifies, Gordon is sent on a work detail to the home of the camp commandant. There, he draws the eye of the commandant's wife, a woman of sophistication who hates the Polish backwater where her husband is posted. Their liaison could free Gordon from the hell he endures inside the prison camp and lead him into an utterly new life-if he's willing to forsake the oaths he's taken, the promises he's made. These ties that bind-forged in the crucible of war-sustain Beryl and Gordon through their darkest days. But will these powerful new bonds subvert their chance to reunite at war's end? Pick up your copy of War Bonds to savor World War Two fiction at its best, infused with real-life anecdotes recounted by the author's father, a survivor of a German POW camp liberated by Patton's army in the final days of the war.
