—Joy Callaway, author of The Fifth Avenue Artists Society
“Goodnight from London captures both the despair and the triumphant spirit of war-torn London through the eyes of Ruby Sutton, an American journalist, with precision and wit. Robson’s novel is an ode to the heroes of World War II, a touching love story, and a marvel.”
—Fiona Davis, author of The Dollhouse
