When I came up for air, I was actually surprised to find myself in 2012 instead of 1914." - Popcorn Reads
Spanning continents and decades, The Muskoka Novels take readers on an unforgettable journey through extraordinary times. The legendary lake district of Muskoka, Canada, is the touchstone, the sanctuary for those who summer there, but venture onto the international stage during the catastrophic First and Second World Wars, and the seductive Jazz Age of the 1920s.
As the men go off to do their patriotic duty, young women, also wanting to do “their bit”, step from genteel drawing rooms into the horrors of makeshift hospitals and dangers of driving ambulances on the front lines in WW1. In WW2, they navigate the treacherous skies of Britain as Spitfire Girls, audaciously ferrying warplanes from factories to airfields, or join the Royal Canadian Air Force, Women’s Division, and find themselves under bombardment in London. All are profoundly affected by conflicts that test their luck, strengths, loves, and loyalties. Inevitably, some fail.
