The Spitfire Girl - Fenella J. Miller
Published by: Aria
Review format: Ebook
This book is every bit as wonderful as I initially thought it would be. I was picked up and transported back to the 1940's to witness Ellie's gutsy attitude to life as she fought her gender stereotypes to live a daring life doing what really mattered for herself, king and country.
Ellie is a daring and brave female pilot, the polar opposite to what her mother deems fit a young lady should be, and this quality adds to her charm. She's an instantly likeable character filled with bold adventure and holds her own in a male dominated world both at home and on the airfield. I was drawn into this storyline from page one and found it extremely difficult to put the book down and I was overjoyed to find that this is just the beginning of Ellie's journey.
The Spitfire Girl is researched extremely well and establishes the world of aviation and war in the 1940's to perfection. I'm now on tender hooks in anticipation for the next installment in this series.
