Nominated for the 2025 Georgia Author of the Year for First Novel "If you were trying to meld Kristin Hannah's romance and action from The Nightingale with Anthony Doerr's poignant empathy and impeccable research in All the Light We Cannot See into one read, Pamela Norsworthy's War Bonds is your book of the year!" -Cam Torrens, author of the Tyler Zahn suspense series 1939: As Hitler's Panzers storm the Polish border, a small boy boards a train bound for the British countryside, where strangers will safeguard him from the bombs soon to darken London skies. The boy's mother, Beryl, a hospital nurse, stays back to tend to the shredding wounds inflicted by the lethal German assault. Her depleting days are made worse when she learns her husband, Gordon, has become a prisoner of war, interned at a camp deep in the Reich. Beryl forges a bond-tenuous and complicated-with an American pilot who helps mitigate her anguish over the husband and son she misses deeply. As their relationship intensifies, Gordon is sent on a work detail to the home of the camp commandant. There, he draws the eye of the commandant's wife, a woman of sophistication who hates the Polish backwater where her husband is posted. Their liaison could free Gordon from the hell he endures inside the prison camp and lead him into an utterly new life-if he's willing to forsake the oaths he's taken, the promises he's made. These ties that bind-forged in the crucible of war-sustain Beryl and Gordon through their darkest days. But will these powerful new bonds subvert their chance to reunite at war's end? Pick up your copy of War Bonds to savor World War Two fiction at its best, infused with real-life anecdotes recounted by the author's father, a survivor of a German POW camp liberated by Patton's army in the final days of the war.
Autorenporträt
Pamela Norsworthy earned a 2025 Georgia Author of the Year nomination for her debut novel, War Bonds, which drew heavily on her father's experiences in World War Two. A former journalist, Pam began writing fiction to explore the vast, unforeseen reverberations when world events collide with the peaceable lives of average people. A lifelong singer, Pam enjoys making music and performing with her guitar-playing husband, rooting for the Atlanta Braves and her alma mater, the University of Virginia, and lingering over spirited dinners with friends to chew over ideas from every angle. She and her husband live in Atlanta, Georgia, where Pam's writing is interrupted every day at noon by their two barking dogs, taken by surprise once again by the arrival of the mail carrier.
