'A WONDERFUL, ESCAPIST, NOSTALGIC READ'- RED MAGAZINE: An enthralling debut novel of romance, wartime glamour, and adventure in the skies. Inspired by the brave young women who flew fighter planes across Britain in World War Two, New Year's Eve, 1940: Evie Chase, the beautiful debutante daughter of an adoring RAF Commander, gazes out at the sky as swing music drifts in from the ballroom. With bombs falling nightly in London, she resolves that the coming year will bring more than just dances and tennis matches and is determined to do her bit for the war effort. 2nd January, 1941: Evie curses her fashionable heels as they skid on the frozen ground of her local airfield. She is here to volunteer for 'The Beauty Chorus,' the female pilots who fly much-needed planes to bases across the country. Soon, she is billeted in a tiny country cottage, sharing with an anxious young mother and a naive teenager. Thrown together by war, these three very different women soon become friends, confidantes, and fellow adventuresses. But as they take to the skies, they will also face hardship, prejudice, and tragedy. Can their new-found bond survive their darkest hours?

A History of Human Beauty
Author: Arthur Marwick
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0826439454
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
If Cleopatra's nose had been half an inch longer, neither Caesar nor Mark Antony would have fallen in love with her. It: A History of Human Beauty treats outstanding physical attractiveness as a quality or possession, comparable to power, intelligence, strength, wealth, education or family, that had a marked effect on history. Beauty in men and women opened opportunities to its possessors not available to the ordinary looking or ugly. While in the past women have had to use the lure of sex to achieve power or wealth, epitomised by royal mistresses or the Grandes Horizontales of the nineteenth century, modern film stars (male and female) can acquire great wealth simply by the use of their images, while attractiveness on television is an essential modern qualification for power, as shown by Ronald Reagan and Tony Blair.
