Dorothy, pretty and independent, is biding her time before deciding on her chosen war work. Maurice, the youngest of the group, has only ever wanted to join the Royal Air Force. By contrast, Alan has recently come down from Cambridge University, brash, self-assured and fully expecting a commission in the RAF. Jack, quiet and determined, has already joined the Navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As the older Kate relates their highs, lows and romantic adventures to Rachel, she realises that her new friend is struggling to make sense of her life and takes on a vitally supportive role. In this way the two stories begin generations apart but with facets that are timeless. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ray Hobbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1595946152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595946157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e WingSpan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"Ray Hobbs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459558453503,"sku":"9781595946157","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9fa4c6a6-a8fb-4d72-a987-a8de3b379af5.jpg?v=1777410445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-year-from-now-ray-hobbs-9781595946157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
