1. The Girl Now Leaving
Lu Wilmott grows up in the Portsmouth slums of the 1920s. Stricken by diphtheria, she is sent to the Hampshire countryside where she discovers a robust fighting spirit and the first stirrings of attraction…
But then must she follow her mother into the city’s grim corset-making trade. Lu realizes that things must change. And she can make it happen.
Her journey from shy child to energetic woman encompasses love, deep friendship, and a growing political awareness. Above all, Lu is a survivor – and one to be reckoned with.
2. Not Just a Soldier’s War
Poverty and factory work have filled Lu Wilmott with a determination to make something of herself. The call to Spain is irresistible: she can live up to her ideals and finally be the woman she’s always wanted to be.
Signing up as a driver, Lu leaves her past and becomes Eve.
One of the few women in charge of heavy vehicles, faced with constant danger, she falls for Spain. But here ‘Eve’ encounters an old love. Can she find room in her stretched new life for romance?
Amidst death and disease, fear and chaos, with food running low, we find a formidable woman is formed from the spirited, naive girl who left Portsmouth…
3. The Face of Eve
When Eve left her hometown of Portsmouth, she’d never intended to return. But now she has a confidence and maturity far beyond her years.
This makes her a very attractive prospect to David Hatton, charged with selecting highly unusual, independent and intelligent candidates for the Special Operations Executive. For in the war that lies ahead, brute force won’t be enough.
Eve becomes part of the Second World War in a way that few others could manage. And when the time for role-playing and secrecy is over, who can say which is the real face of Eve?
