Series
The After Dunkirk series follows the Littlefield family from the evacuation of 1940 through the final campaigns of the Second World War. Separated across occupied France, Britain, North Africa, Italy, Germany and the Pacific, the siblings serve as pilots, soldiers, intelligence officers, codebreakers and resistance operatives while their parents endure the German occupation of Sark.
Across ten novels, private loyalties are repeatedly tested by the demands of total war. The sequence combines family saga, military action and espionage with major campaigns including the Battle of Britain, the Blitz, Stalingrad, Normandy, the advance into Germany and the closing struggle against Japan, showing how decisions made in command rooms and codebreaking centres reach individual lives on every front.
