From the author of The Last Garden in England and The Light Over London comes a “gripping tale by a writer at the top of her game” (Fiona Davis, author of The Chelsea Girls) following three friends who struggle to remain loyal as one of them is threatened with internment by the British government at the start of World War II. In August of 1939, as Britain watches the headlines in fear of another devastating war with Germany, three childhood companions must choose between friendship and country. Erstwhile socialite Nora is determined to find her place in the Home Office’s Air Raid Precautions Department, matchmaker Hazel tries to mask two closely guarded secrets with irrepressible optimism, and German expat Marie worries that she and her family might face imprisonment in an internment camp if war is declared. When Germany invades Poland and tensions on the home front rise, Marie is labeled an enemy alien, and the three friends find themselves fighting together to keep her free at any cost. Featuring Julia Kelly’s signature “intricate, tender, and convincing” (Publishers Weekly) prose, The Whispers of War is a moving and unforgettable tale of the power of friendship and womanhood in the midst of conflict.

The title of this book, God Hears the Whispers of Our Hearts, came from sitting on a park bench with my four children when they were small, on the grounds of the State Capitol of Sacramento, with a wondering thought about where my life was headed and in what direction I will end up at. It began as a thought and then a whisper and sigh. As I gazed up at the Capitol building and admire the beauty of it (the people walking in and out, the squirrels running and playing) I whispered in my heart, "I wish I could be like one of those people entering the building to work in such a beautiful place." Immediately, my sigh and thought came to a stop""it seemed like such an impossible dream. As the time went by, the manifestation of that sigh and whisper became a reality and a dream come true. I not only worked in that building but retired from it after thirty-four years. This is the story in the contents of this book "The Bench."
