What people Say
“A sweet and compelling romance that doesn’t shy away from the difficulties of war. Heart in the Clouds is beautifully researched, based on Jennifer Mistmorgan’s grandfather’s experiences as a pilot in the RAAF. Perfect for both World War II buffs and for those who simply enjoy a lovely story and characters who feel like friends. Don’t miss this one!”
“An enthralling historical romance set against the backdrop of WWII Britain when the heroic men of RAF Bomber Command took to the skies night after night and courageous women did their part for the cause of victory. From their witty banter to the heartache and hope of their unfolding love in a perilous time, Alec and Maggie’s journey is one readers will long remember. Jennifer Mistmorgan’s expert research infuses every page in this compelling and inspiring novel. Highly recommended for fans of Sarah Sundin and Kate Breslin.”
