Looking Glass by C. W. Reed is published by Robert Hale Ltd.

Eighteen-year-old Alice Glass is rescued from her life in a small terraced house in the north-east town of Margrove when she volunteers to help in the wartime evacuation of schoolchildren to the Yorkshire dales. Here she is reunited with shy, pretty Elsbeth Hobbs, a teaching assistant from Alice’s hometown but from a privileged social background.

Caught up in the mystery of foreigner Gus Rielke’s nefarious connection with farmer Bob Symmonds, Alice is helped by her admirer, Davy Brown, a labourer on a nearby estate. But it is the truth about Alice’s unacknowledged feeling for Elsbeth that brings about the most startling consequences.
