Fleeting Shadows Richard Kinsella

Highland Heights, New York, the Creswell family are enjoying afternoon tea on the terrace of their mansion, 'Cleveden'. The year is 1939. Sir Peter Creswell is chairman of an Anglo-American oil and shipping company. Storm clouds of war gather in Europe. Both Peter and his son, Louis, will be early participants in the approaching conflict. Surviving torpedo attacks, adrift in the South Atlantic in an open lifeboat with crew and two young female students, young Louis is faced with an almost impossible challenge against unrest, sharks and food. His father is also fighting for his life in the North Atlantic. From Liverpool to Halifax, from Halifax to the disastrous attack on Pearl Harbour. This is a story of romance, betrayal and survival.
