• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is Gwendolyn's story, one of four true stories from the book GI Brides.

They sat down together and Ben pulled her close. 'Lyn,' he whispered. 'You know I'm head over heels in love with you. I'll never love anyone else as long as I live.' It was the most romantic thing Lyn had ever heard - and coming from Ben she knew that it was true.

Gwendolyn's hometown of Southampton is taken over by the Americans of the 'friendly invasion' as they prepare for D-Day. She falls in love with a romantic Italian-American officer, and excitedly travels to California to be with him. But once there, Gwendolyn clashes with a formidable mother-in-law, who tells her husband: 'It's her or me!'

Gwendolyn's story is extracted from GI Brides, written by the bestselling authors of The Sugar Girls. It captures the memories of the thousands of women who crossed the Atlantic for love after the Second World War.
