I enjoyed A World of Other People by Steven Carroll, reading the Kindle version. It is set during the London Blitz and is a romantic story about a young London woman Iris who meets an Australian bomber pilot, Jim, after he has physically recovered from the crash landing of his plane. Jim is still severely traumatised by the experience though he remembers little about it, having been in a coma for some time. Coincidentally Iris had witnessed his plane coming down but she doesn't know it was his plane. They fall in love, but then Iris has a crisis of conscience and their lives take a different path. A tender story. 4/5.
