BOOK
A Game Of Birds And Wolves
The new book from longtime contributor Simon Parkin takes you back to 1941, when the Allies are facing defeat in a battle raging in the Atlantic. A retired navy captain, together with a group of eight women – some as young as 17 – devises an innovative game of battleships that eventually turns the flannel panel. Film rights have already been snapped up by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners, with Vicky Jones, of Fleabag and Killing Eve, adapting the book for the big screen.
