A country is torn apart by civil war as a young woman serving as a nurse is torn apart by her conflicting feelings for two young men. As the battles rage around her, Felix has to make her choices in this passionate historical adventure set in Spain.

The Bookseller says ‘A fantastic historical fiction début set in the Spanish Civil War, featuring a wonderfully passionate and resourceful heroine.  Recommended.‘

The Morning Star says: ‘As love story, history and gripping drama…it’s a book that works on all levels…Highly recommended.’

We Love This Book says ‘The strong narrative of this engaging historical novel keeps the reader hooked, but as well as entertainment there’s a lot to be learned …there’s death and betrayal, fear and sadness within these covers. We are prompted to think about the nature of compromise and how war requires tough decisions to be made. A World Between Us is a well-written novel for teenagers but has crossover appeal that many adults would enjoy.’

And the book has been shortlisted for the WeRead Book Award 2013!
