Welcome to Litsy!

For ordinary people, life in World War II is lived on a knife edge, never knowing when death might rain down from the sky. Fliss, pretty young barmaid at the Poacher Inn in County Durham, knows this more than most - her fiancé, Johnnie, was shot down on a raid for RAF Bomber Command. All around her are the men of courage who come to drink because each night might be their last, reminders of the romantic drama and tragic loss she has suffered, but despite her vow to never fall for a war romance again, she finds herself increasingly attracted to a young airman who seems almost too good to be true. Robbie is brave and sweet, but his life, governed by RAF Bomber Command, is dangerous at best, and he tells Fliss he just wants to be good friends. Soon, however, it becomes clear to them both that living life is not a matter of waiting, but of taking control amidst the uncertainty of the future. But the Second World War is turbulent, and not even the men of courage fighting to protect Britain's skies are spared the hand of fate. As the demand on RAF aircrews grows ever more perilous, the lives of these two ordinary people may be torn apart forever. A thrilling Second World War romance of epic proportions, 'Whichever Way The Wind Blows' tells the tale of young love in tragic times, and the dangers of life in World War II like you have never seen them before.
