Evasions - Melanie Jeschke M
- A Novel
Two Love Stories Entwined Across Generations-from the Scottish Highlands to Peaceful Oxford
Scottish RAF pilot Eric MacKenzie confronts the skies in a battle against the Nazis while wrestling with the demons of personal loss and deep-seated bitterness. Amidst the tumult of World War II, he finds refuge in his love for Annie, a beautiful American nurse evading air raids and uncertainty by
seeking shelter and solace at the Kilns, the home of Oxford don C.S. Lewis. Confronted by unforeseen tragedy, unexpected pregnancy, and uncertain faith, Eric and Annie must navigate these challenging complexities as they search for lasting love.
Decades later, they reveal their passionate and turbulent love story to daughter Natalie and suitor Lord Stuart Devereux, who are seeking guidance for their own unpredictable future. Evasions unfolds as a compelling prequel to Inklings and Expectations, interweaving themes of romance, resilience, and the enduring legacy of literary icon C. S. Lewis. This beautifully crafted tale will captivate readers who cherish deep love stories and rich historical narratives.
"Step back in time and enjoy an enriching tale of Oxford, C.S. Lewis, and the characters Melanie Jeschke brings to life. You will feel as if you know them personally." Ruth Graham
"Melanie Jeschke's meticulous period research is integrated seamlessly into a gripping and delightful yarn of love, faith, and loss set during the horror and terror of war. Playing a small but important part in the central story, C.S. Lewis and his immediate circle in Oxford come to vivid life."
