A page-turning story with a huge heart that will transport you back in time
The new summer blockbuster by national treasure and Sunday Times bestselling author Celia Imrie: a heart-warming and page-turning story about a group of women working for GI soldiers during World War 2, a novel bursting with dancing and romance, thrills and jeopardy.

***FROM CELIA IMRIE: STAR OF CELEBRITY TRAITORS ON BBC ONE!***

‘Walking in time with the beat, clapping her hands, clicking her fingers. How could anyone resist the urge to dance? Dot swirled her Red Cross cape in time with the rhythm.’

London, 1944. The air raid sirens are blaring, bombers are hovering. The war with Germany has been raging for four years and there’s no sign of peace coming.

Dot Gallagher is newly arrived from Liverpool and working as a nurse. During an air strike, she encounters an enthralling group of American GIs who tell her all about Rainbow Corner, a social club for US troops in Piccadilly – it’s a wartime oasis where they can forget their fears, fall in and out of love and dance the nights away.

It’s here that Dot finds a new best friend in Lilly. And together, against the stark realities of war, they must learn to face their fears, uncover secrets and discover the true meaning of love.
