Love in the blitz : the long-lost letters of a brilliant young woman to her beloved on the front / Eileen Alexander ; edited by David McGowan and David Crane.
"On July 17th 1939, Eileen Alexander, a bright young woman recently graduated from Girton College, Cambridge, begins a brilliant correspondence with fellow Cambridge student Gershon Ellenbogen that lasts five years and spans many hundreds of letters. But as Eileen and Gershon's relationship flourishes from friendship and admiration into passion and love, the tensions between Germany, Russia, and the rest of Europe reach a crescendo. When war is declared, Gershon heads for Cairo and Eileen forgoes her studies to work in the Air Ministry.As cinematic as -- is a timeless romance and a deeply personal story of life and resilience amid the violence and terror of war."
