Westward the Sun is fresh, vital, humorous and absolutely authentic in its knowing picture of a contemporary London girl. This is Linda Ferrers' story. Linda is a pretty, sharp-tongued, quick-witted London girl of eighteen, hard on the surface, defenseless underneath. Linda is independent, shrewdly down to earth, and appealing. She tells how her meeting with American soldiers changed the entire pattern of her life. "Half the ceiling fell in on me so I woke up. Talk about startled. Of course, when you're sleeping and wake up all of a sudden, it takes a second or so before you know what's happening, or remember what might be. In this case it was a rocket, that being what they were sending over all silent and sinister towards the end of the war. No warning or anything, but all of a sudden a big dull bang and somewhere not too far away there was this hole in the ground, then thunder in the air, and that funny kind of smell, and two or three houses in ruins, and people dead" --excerpt Geoffrey Cotterell
