Meet Me at Rainbow Corner

Set in London in 1944, Meet Me at Rainbow Corner follows Dot Gallagher, a nurse newly arrived from Liverpool, as she navigates the perils of wartime life. During an air raid, Dot encounters a lively group of American GIs who introduce her to Rainbow Corner, a Piccadilly social club where troops can escape their fears, fall in and out of love, and dance the nights away. There, Dot forms a close friendship with Lilly, and together they confront danger, uncover secrets, and discover the true meaning of love amidst the chaos of war. Celia Imrie describes the story’s irresistible energy: “Walking in time with the beat, clapping her hands, clicking her fingers. How could anyone resist the urge to dance?” Praised for its meticulous research, vivid storytelling, and emotional depth, the novel has been called “hugely enjoyable… a must for anyone who likes wartime novels with a difference” (Rosie Goodwin) and “a deeply evocative snapshot of the experiences of a group of feisty and determined women, who became GI Brides in World War 2” (Fiona Valpy).
