The Midnight News

by Jo Baker

Set in the heart of London during the tumult of the Blitz in 1940, 'The Midnight News' spins a tale of a young woman's unraveling amidst the chaos of war. Charlotte Richmond is a twenty-year-old seeking solace in her routine office job and the comfort of her best friend, Elena, while grappling with the pain of losing her brother in the conflict across the channel. Her life is a precarious balance of coping and survival, enlivened by simple joys such as the boy feeding birds, a stark contrast to her daily traverse through a city under siege. However, as destruction weaves its way through the London streets, an eerie sense of foreboding tightens around Charlotte. A malevolent shadow stalks her friends, and now its dark gaze turns towards her, threatening her sanity and freedom. Caught between the hammer of her own doubt and the anvil of public danger, Charlotte confronts a creeping paranoia that challenges the very foundation of her trust. 'The Midnight News' delves deep into the passionate heart and frayed nerves of a woman fighting her own battles in the larger theater of World War II.
