I, ROBERTA HARRISON, have to keep a diary, and it's all the fault of the Worm of Jealousy. Ambushed by the dreaded Worm over her "best" friend's new diary and fashionable clothes, 13-year-old Bobby announces that she, too, has a diary. Now she feels compelled to write in an old exercise book every day, chronicling the trials and tribulations of growing up in a world at war. Bobby's beloved eldest brother and uncle are fighting overseas in the conflict. Her 16-year-old brother can't wait to enlist, and her seemingly worldly sister gets pregnant by a young airman. And now Bobby's fledgling romantic life has turned into a complete humiliation.
A poignant coming-of-age story, interspersed with Barbara Haworth-Attard's father's World War II letters, Love-Lies-Bleeding will appeal to the author's large and loyal historical fiction audience, as well as new readers of her bestselling contemporary novel, Theories of Relativity.p>
