Flight of the Lark

Flight of the Lark, the sequel to Valerie Mendes’
best-selling Larkswood,
reunites us with the Hamilton family at the
outbreak of the Second World War.

Louisa Hamilton plans to train as a Red Cross
nurse in her grandfather’s brand new hospital.

Thomas Saunders longs to grow wings as a
young fighter pilot with the RAF.

Edward Hamilton spots a green-eyed evacuee
at the station, takes the child home – and
then he meets Michael’s mother.

In Calcutta, left alone in the heat and dust,
William Hamilton protects his secret life
and makes a big decision.

And what of Larkswood itself? Will the house
become a clandestine meeting place?
Who visits it and why?

And what will happen to the lovers?
Neither Louisa nor Thomas can predict the problems
they will have to face – nor whether their young love affair
can survive the chaotic madness of war.

Flight of the Lark will be published by VMBooks in 2025.
