Publisher's Synopsis
A Lincolnshire village on a glorious summer's morning in 1940, the countryside as still as a painting. In the blue sky above, the fate of the whole war will soon rest with the RAF and their desperate effort to win the Battle of Britain. If they fail, Hitler's next step will be invasion. The conflict will take husbands and sons away, bring in evacuees from the city and soldiers to defend the coast. Everywhere, the feeling of change is in the air. There Was a Time portrays a community of people and weaves together their stories with passion, betrayal, intrigue and suspense.
