Opis: Waiting for the Day - Leslie Thomas, Thomas

Set midwinter 1943, this novel explores the build-up to D-Day through the eyes of servicemen from both the UK and the USA. Each one is heading inexorably towards the beaches of Normandy but none of them knows it. The author of one of the biggest best selling titles about soldiers of all time, The Virgin Soldiers, has written his 28th novel, which is a splendidly dramatic story about a group of people waiting for D-Day and the landings in France. Paget is an RAF officer on leave in the winter of 1943 when the story opens. He returns home to Somerset by slow train and takes part in the Christmas festivities. Sergeant Harris is sitting in a freezing hut on Salisbury Plain teaching green troops and longing for action while Lieutenant Miller of the US army is wondering when the big day will come. Leslie Thomas writes with great power and tells a story beautifully. As a novel this is always convincing and hugely readable.
