Simon's Town is a vibrant and diverse community in a picturesque part of the Union of South Africa. At the heart of the town is the Royal Navy port, and Louise Ahrendts, daughter of a shipbuilder, nurtures the idea that through hard work she could step beyond a destiny of domestic service. She dreams of becoming a nurse and she has the tenacity to make this dream a reality. When the Second World War breaks out and the port becomes a hub of activity, Louise's path crosses with that of Lieutenant David Horrocks. Despite the gulf in their backgrounds and the expectations facing them from family on both sides, Louise and David are determined to be together.\u003cbr\u003eBut as the end of the war approaches and a new troubled moment of history dawns, will they find their way back to each other?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Mutch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0749021306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780749021306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Allison \u0026amp; Busby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Barbara Mutch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990308028671,"sku":"9780749021306","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82c6d2ed-7496-4836-9cbf-9e555f178344.jpg?v=1683304042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-girl-from-simons-bay-barbara-mutch-9780749021306","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
