About the Book

Some say all Sophia Randall thinks of are romance novels and dance frocks...

That may have been true once, but when war broke out, reaching even to our isolated corner of the bush, my priorities changed. I now read news from afar and dance but rarely.

Only my love for the Almighty God, for family and friends, for the man who captured my heart, for the bush, and for the call of the curlew haven't changed. Especially the call of the curlew.

Some say it's mournful-even sinister-but I've always delighted in that lonely cry heralding the end of another day. And when Kenny went off to war, it became a promise-a reminder of his love and determination to return.

When the unthinkable happens, my prayers become listless. New challenges surface. Ghostly footsteps join the coal trucks rumbling through town. Dingoes lurk in the shadows. Valuables vanish. A... presence chases me through the bush. Burdens weigh me down, and I forget to remember.

But is all lost? Would the pain in my heart be easier to bear if I stopped to listen for the curlews' call?

Loosely based on "The Boy Who Disappeared", When the Curlews Call is a story of ghostly doings, missing airmen, and a young girl desperate to keep the home fires burning when all hope seems lost. Told through a series of letters, readers will follow Sophia's journey, sharing her triumphs and trials all through the long, dark days of World War II.
