It is 1938 and headstrong eighteen-year-old Mari Carrera leaves a gossipy small town in rural New Zealand aboard the SS Rimutaka. Rather too careless with her reputation, Mari is bound for the bustling anonymity of London - but she is all too willing to be seduced by the temptations of the glittering West End.

Description
Survivor is the third instalment in the top-five bestselling, enthralling Belle series.
London, 1939
Eighteen-year-old Mari is defiant, strong-willed, and selfish.
She has craved independence her entire life and now, with the world on the brink of war, Mari has finally escaped the sleepy fishing village of her childhood in New Zealand. After passionately falling for Morgan, the Cockney steward aboard the ship on her voyage to England, she hastily dismisses him in favour of being taken out by handsome young pilots in the glamorous West End.
But, without warning, the Blitz blows her new life apart. Now Mari has the chance to make a difference, but can she learn from her mistakes in time?
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
