THE BEAUTY CHORUS

Book ID/图书代码： 00970010B37065

English Summary/英文概要： It’s January 1941 and Amy Johnson, famous aviator and society darling, takes off on a routine flight for the ATA, an organisation of courageous civilian pilots who ferried fighter planes to airbases across war-torn Britain. It is dangerous work. That night, flying unarmed and without instruments, Amy will crash her Tiger Moth into the English Channel never to be seen again.
As they watch their heroine taxi down the runway for the last time, three of the ATA’s newest recruits are filled with the excitement of new beginnings. Evie Chase, with her elegantly tailored uniform and beautifully brushed mink coat, is one of the so-called ‘beauty chorus’; a thrill seeking debutante looking for romance and adventure. Stella Grainger is a young mother who has returned from Singapore without her family and flies to forget her grief. And Megan Jones is an idealistic teenager from deepest Wales who wants to learn the skills that will save her family’s airfield.
Billeted together in a tiny cottage, these very different women soon find that they share more than just a love of flight. Brave, beautiful, and fiercely determined they will find love and experience the heartbreak of loss and forge friendships that will last a lifetime. The author has drawn on archive material and first-hand accounts of the real ATA girls to create a wonderfully warm novel which will appeal the readers of Amelia Carr and Kate Morton.
