<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>On the night of the Luftwaffe's devastating bombing of Coventry, two women traverse the city and transform their hearts.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>On the evening of November 14, 1940, Harriet Marsh stands on the roof of the historic Coventry cathedral and marvels at the frost glittering beneath a full moon. But it is a bomber's moon, and the Luftwaffe is coming to unleash destruction on the city. For Harriet; for the young fire watcher, Jeremy, standing beside her; and for his artist mother, Maeve, hiding in a cellar, this single night of horror will resonate for the rest of their lives. <em>Coventry</em> is a testament to the power of the human spirit, an honest and ultimately uplifting account of heartache transformed into compassion and love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Packs a tremendous emotional punch . . . adeptly depicts how the random intersection of lives can impact destiny.-- "Booklist"<br><br>Starred Review. With stark, precise poetry, Humphreys builds a palpable, almost unbearable sense of inevitability and loss that echoes both Jon Hersey's <em>Hiroshima</em> and Ian McEwan's <em>On Chesil Beach</em>.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br>
