A Girl's Own War
From Shelf: Fiction to get excited about Autumn 2023 (paperback)
When an English pilot and a German baron appear in a down-at-heel town in neutral southern Ireland at the start of WW2, ex-convent-girl Mary Collins's hopes of making it to Hollywood get caught up in a comic battle for survival.
In wartime Ireland, an Englishman and a German each need the other to betray his country. And if the nationalist firebrands get their way, they may have to fight to the death. But hang on!-Just a few months ago, Flight Lieutenant Oliver Carmichael and Baron Julius von Stulpnagel were living together in Berlin, trying to sell forged paintings. So what are they doing in rundown Ballingore, and how will ex-convent-girl Mary Collins and her devoted red-headed sidekick Niamh Slattery play into their hands? In this hilarious Irish farce, K.J. Kelly brilliantly recreates the slapstick flavour of an Ealing Studios comedy.
