520    On July 17th 1939, Eileen Alexander, a bright young woman 
       recently graduated from Girton College, Cambridge, begins 
       a brilliant correspondence with fellow Cambridge student 
       Gershon Ellenbogen that lasts five years and spans many 
       hundreds of letters. But as Eileen and Gershon's 
       relationship flourishes from friendship and admiration 
       into passion and love, the tensions between Germany, 
       Russia, and the rest of Europe reach a crescendo. When war
       is declared, Gershon heads for Cairo and Eileen forgoes 
       her studies to work in the Air Ministry. As cinematic as 
       Atonement, written with the intimacy of the Neapolitan 
       quartet, Love in the Blitz is an extraordinary glimpse of 
       life in London during World War II and an illuminating 
       portrait of an ordinary young woman trying to carve a 
       place for herself in a time of uncertainty. As the 
       Luftwaffe begins its bombardment of England, Eileen, like 
       her fellow Britons, carries on while her loved ones are 
       called up to fight, some never to return home. Written 
       over the course of the conflict, Eileen's letters provide 
       a vivid and personal glimpse of this historic era. Yet 
       throughout the turmoil and bloodshed, one thing remains 
       constant: her beloved Gershon, who remains a source of 
       strength and support, even after he, too, joins the 
       fighting. Though his letters have been lost to time, the 
       bolstering force of his love for Eileen is illuminated in 
       her responses to him. Equal parts heartrending and 
       heartwarming, Love in the Blitz is a timeless romance and 
       a deeply personal story of life and resilience amid the 
       violence and terror of war.
