From USA Today best-selling publisher Jennifer Robson - author of Moonlight Over Paris and Somewhere in France - comes a lush historical novel that tells the fascinating account of Ruby Sutton, an ambitious American journalist who moves to London in 1940 to survey on the Second World War, also to start a new life an ocean away from her past. In the summer of 1940, ambitious young American journalist Ruby Sutton gets her big break in the action: the opportunity to survey on the Western european war as an employee writer for Picture Weekly newsmagazine in London. She jumps at the chance, for it's an opportunity not only to confirm herself, but also to start fresh in a city and country that know nothing of her humble roots. But life in besieged Britain tests Ruby with techniques she never imagined. Although the majority of Ruby's new co-workers welcome her, a few resent her presence, not only as an American but also as a woman. She is just starting to find her toes, to feel at home in a country that is so familiar yet so overseas, when the bombs begin to fall. As the nightly horror of the Blitz exercises unbroken into weeks and a few months, Ruby must set aside her determination to stay an objective observer. When she loses everything but her life, and must depend upon the kindness of strangers, she discovers for the very first time the depth and measure of true a friendly relationship - and what it is to love a man who is burdened by secrets that are not his to talk about. Goodnight from London, influenced partly by the wartime encounters of the author's own grandmother, is a captivating, heartfelt, and historically immersive account that listeners will definitely embrace.
