Love at War

In March 1940 Laura boards a ship and travels through the torpedoed waters of the Mediterranean to chase after Harry whom she has fallen in love with. He was out in Uganda, but has joined up to fight with the King’s African Rifles.


Will she succeed in her quest?


Strong-willed and proudly independent, she has many dramatic life-changing upheavals to face on the way to Uganda and beyond.


Love at War is based on a true story, the loves, dramas and losses of a resourceful, exceptional girl.
