It is 1940 and bombs are falling on London. Watching from her attic window, Charlotte sees enemy planes flying in over the city and her neighbours' homes turning to rubble. Still grieving for her beloved brother who never returned from France, Charlotte has moved away from her overbearing father and built a new life for herself. She works as a typist for the Ministry of Information, rents a room in a ramshackle house, and shares gin and confidences with her best friend, Elena. Every day brings new scenes of devastation, and after each heartbreaking loss Charlotte comes to fear that something-or someone-else is responsible. Who is the shadow man that seems to be following her? Is her mind playing tricks? Her nerves increasingly frayed, she soon finds her very freedom under threat. . . Utterly riveting and hypnotic, The Midnight News is a love story, a war story, and an unforgettable journey into the fragile mind and fierce heart of an extraordinary young woman"--cProvided by publisher 0aTypistsvFiction 0aGriefvFiction 0aYoung womenvFiction 0aStalkersvFiction 0aWorld War, 1939-1945zEnglandvFiction 0aLondon (England)xHistoryyBombardment, 1940-1941vFiction 7aHistorical fiction.2lcgft 7aDetective and mystery fiction.2lcgft 7aNovels.2lcgft 0aHistorical fiction08iOnline version:aBaker, Jo.tMidnight newsbFirst edition.dNew York : Alfred A.
