November 2017 Book of the Month

The Peter Woodhouse of the title is a dog rescued from a cruel farmer and “hidden” at an American Airforce Camp where he becomes their lucky mascot with a penchant for flying.  This is 1944.  Val is a land girl, Mike an American pilot.  They fall in love and decide to marry but before they do Mike, the dog and a navigator are shot down over Holland.  Unbeknownst to Val, who is now pregnant, they all survive.  A compassionate German soldier, Ubi, helps them.  The war ends, Mike, dog and navigator return to England, Ubi to Germany and we follow all their eventful and eventually linking lives.  This is sensitive and gently told but now drama mounts and tragedy sets in as the years unfold with lots of surprises including bizarrely a Motodrom,  until 1981.  It is a stand-alone tale which the author frequently produces but this one is very different from his norm, not as light hearted and quirky as most.  Sarah Broadhurst
