Description

A moving true story of love on the front lines.

It was July 1944 when Madge stepped onto a troopship that was to carry her thousands of miles away from home. Only twenty years old and not long qualified as a nurse, she had signed up to serve in the Burma Campaign. She would be based on the Indian border, near the frontline where a fierce battle was raging between Allied forces and the Japanese.

As Madge arrived in Chittagong, she wondered how she would adapt to the ever present danger of invasion and to life in a military hospital. She spent long, exhausting hours nursing the badly-injured young soldiers in her care, but found strength in her friendship with the other nurses. And then, one day, she met Captain Basil Lambert . . . Could their fragile, new found romance survive the terrifying final months of war?

Heart-warming and poignant, Some Sunny Day by Madge Lambert is a story of courage, sacrifice and the power of true love.



A story of romance in times of hardship, perfect for fans of GI Brides and The Girls Who Went to War

About the Author

Madge Lambert (nee Graves) was born in Kent in 1923. At 94, she is one of the few remaining women to have served as a nurse during the Burma Campaign between 1944 and 1945, where she met her husband, Captain Basil Lambert. The couple share a love for dance to this day and appeared on a Strictly Come Dancing Remembrance Day special in 2016.

Robert 'Bob' Blair is the son of a RAF navigator who flew Mosquitos in the Burma Campaign and a WAAF mother who was stationed at Bletchley in the Second World War. He began his career in news production on weekly papers. He moved to the London Evening Standard before emigrating to Canada where he worked for the Ottawa Citizen, then moved to Hong Kong. After two years with the South China Morning Post Group he returned to London and spent thirty years with Mirror Group Newspapers.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
