Someone  To Watch Over Me

Lucy Potter loves her mother, but she hates the fact that Nora is a medium.  A down-t-earth girl, Lucy can just about handle the chatty conversations with dead relatives in the privacy of their East End home, but when Nora begins to attract adulation from people her daughter sees as credulous fools, Lucy decides enough is enough.  Her decision to join the Women’s Land Army is made even easier when her fiancé, Roy, turns out to be a cad.

Lucy’s hopes of escaping the war on the home front by a change of scene are soon dashed.  Posted to an isolated East Anglian farm whjere the locals regard her with thinly veiled hostility she finds the work gruelling, and even in this backwater German planes appear to strafe the cows.  And pretty soon her problems follow her – first Roy goes AWOL to haunt her every step and, to cap it all, Nora turns up on a spiritualist tour and becomes the toast of the country.

Then Lucy meets Joe from the nearby RAF camp.  He has red hair, can’t dance and plays the sort of jazz she hates.

They have nothing ion common.  But love liberates Lucy from her prejudices the way nothing else could and, her defences lowered, she begins to suspect she shares more of Nora’s qualities than she bargained for…
