The spin number in The Classics Club Spin is number …
2
which for me is Fair Stood the Wind for France by H E Bates. The rules of the Spin are that this is the book for me to read by Sunday the 3rd December 2023.
Synopsis from Amazon
When John Franklin brings his plane down into Occupied France at the height of the Second World war, there are two things in his mind – the safety of his crew and his own badly injured arm. It is a stroke of unbelievable luck when the family of a French farmer risk their lives to offer the airmen protection. During the hot summer weeks that follow, the English officer and the daughter of the house are drawn inexorably to each other.
I’m looking forward to reading it.

Oh, that does look good, Margaret! I have to admit I’ve not read it, so I’ll be very curious as to what you think of it!

This does sound good. I only know his Darling Buds of May series which was rather too light for my taste but this one has more substance it seems

I’m hoping it will be good. I wasn’t too keen on the TV versions of The Darling Buds of May, although I thought the David Jason version was better than the Bradley Walsh one.

The Jason one was very much of its time. A bit too sweet for my taste

I remember watching the BBC adaptation of that from 1980 and thinking it was just perfect. They don’t seem to do these lovely adaptations any more. Enjoy the book.
