On July 17th 1939, Eileen Alexander, a bright young woman recently graduated from Girton College, Cambridge, begins a brilliant correspondence with fellow Cambridge student Gershon Ellenbogen that lasts five years and spans many hundreds of letters.

But as Eileen and Gershon's relationship flourishes from friendship and admiration into passion and love, the tensions between Germany, Russia, and the rest of Europe reach a crescendo. When war is declared, Gershon heads for Cairo and Eileen forgoes her studies to work in the Air Ministry.

As cinematic as Atonement, written with the intimacy of the Neapolitan quartet, Love in the Blitz is an extraordinary glimpse of life in London during World War II and an illuminating portrait of an ordinary young woman trying to carve a place for herself in a time of uncertainty. As the Luftwaffe begins its bombardment of England, Eileen, like her fellow Britons, carries on while her loved ones are called up to fight, some never to return home.

Written over the course of the conflict, Eileen's letters provide a vivid and personal glimpse of this historic era. Yet throughout the turmoil and bloodshed, one thing remains constant: her beloved Gershon, who remains a source of strength and support, even after he, too, joins the fighting. Though his letters have been lost to time, the bolstering force of his love for Eileen is illuminated in her responses to him.

Equal parts heartrending and heartwarming, Love in the Blitz is a timeless romance and a deeply personal story of life and resilience amid the violence and terror of war.

Soft and efficient
Scent: Night Calming, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2), Scent: Night Calming, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
Love these! Bought the night calming ones and honestly the're the best ones I've ever tried. I have sensitive skin and other "sensitive skin ones" leave my skin burning and red. But these are extremely soft, leaves my skin so soft and moist. And a super plus, gets rid of my waterproof mascara in one wipe!

just ok
Scent: Formulated without Fragrance, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
These are ok but have to really work to get off makeup, plus they are an off white, pale yellow color that makes them look stained.

Better than name brand! Simple yet effective
Scent: Formulated without Fragrance, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
Better than name brand! I tried these because I had forgotten to restock my old brand when I went grocery shopping. They work very well! My makeup comes off easily and quickly. The size of the wipe is perfect, not too small. My husband also likes using them to refresh after a long day at work.

Wonderful Face Wipes
Scent: Night Calming, Size: 25 Count (Pack of 2)
I use Amazon's brand face cleaners every day.And they are wonderful! I also have rosacea , and these never bother it. I buy the lavender scent which is very soothing and smells wonderful. It is not overpowering, but just a light scent.

Best facial mist perfect in every way!
Scent: Lavender, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this! I tried it and took a chance and it’s literally the best face spray I’ve used. The Mr. is perfect, it makes you feel refreshed, it smells great. It doesn’t burn and it makes your complexion look Dewey and feels like it tightens your skin a little, but in the right way. It’s a nice sized bottle and the price point is perfect. I’ll probably never stop buying it. I highly recommend it. It’s not just for make up. It’s for anybody that wants their skin to be healthy and hydrated. Try it. You won’t regret it.
