WRITERS ABROAD MAGAZINE: THE THIRD SPACE
All Will Be Well by Louise Charles
At Dunkirk during World War Two, the unlikely paths of Eve Lacy and Isobel
Bloomfield cross.
Eve has been nursing injured soldiers on the front
line having escaped from the bitter life her aunt
planned for her back at the family farm. Isobel arrives
as part of the Voluntary Aid Detachment to assist in
the evacuations. A London debutante, the daughter of
a wealthy man who has fuelled her childhood desire
to fly, Isobel is biding time until she is accepted for
the Air Transport Auxilary.
A shared birthday provides the basis of a friendship
which continues when they arrive in back in England.
Sometime after the women are posted to Park Pruett
Hospital, Isobel’s dream comes true. The women go
their separate ways but only after they encounter
Jack Wallace, an ace fighter pilot, who connects them
by a fragile but invisible thread. Will this be a test of their loyalty?
