Review

The twenty-third novel from Emma Blair is another romantic fiction in which she once again she writes about love overshadowing war. The delightful Postons move from New York to Islington in the 1930s. They face contempt from some of the locals as they are both American and black. Pee Wee Poston is a talented saxophonist and comes to London to play in the jazz clubs, whilst his wife Beulah has her renovated house full of mod-cons to occupy her time, all thanks to their successful diplomat son Julius. Their neighbours the Sykes are intrigued by the Postons' American ways, and the families become close. World War II breaks out, Pee Wee plays on and despite the difficult times ahead, romance soon blossoms between Julius and the Sykes' daughter Ellie. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Moonlit Eyes (Hardcover)

Moonlit Eyes by Emma Blair is great book. It is only book set in this era (WW2) that deals the racial differences in England. The book has a nice pace and is able to hold the readers interest. A great book for a fan of Ms. Blair or of the time period.
