Jan Turk Petrie – Towards The Vanishing Point

I am honoured to be a part of the Blog Tour for Towards The Vanishing Point, Jan Turk Petrie’s new offering.

It is set in the 1930’s, in the North of England and focuses upon two young girls, Stella and Lily, whose friendship transcends the years. It is only after the war when they are both working as auxillary nurses that Lily meets a man, a male nurse called Ben, and falls head over heels. Stella hears things about him that make her doubt the man’s intentions and it’s when she attempts to make Lily understand the negative side of Ben, that the friendship is thoroughy tested.

I was totally swept away back to the 1930’s, to the era of my grandparents and I was engulfed in the journey of Lily and Stella, through the pre-war era, then the wartime and finally, when all should be well, the spectre of unease comes along and has to be dealt with.

I wish I had a friend like Stella, just as Lily has! A story that starts quite light and veers into darker quarters and keeps you wanting to know it all!
