Orphan Gunner
A romance between two young Australian women, set in Bomber Command in Lincolnshire during the Second World War. Evelyn has escaped to England to become one of the few female pilots with the Air Transport Auxiliary. Journeying from Australia, her friend Olive enlists in the WAAF. A growing intimacy develops between them.
The Orphan Gunner explores the seductions of passing, the licence granted by risk, and the selflessness - and selfishness - of sacrifice. The relationship between the two women is portrayed with subtlety and warmth, and an extraordinary sense of historical detail which brings its wartime setting vividly to life.
