Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
'Every page, every sentence bears a remarkable intelligence, curiosity and sympathy' Martin MacInnes
'Exquisitely written' Lucy Ribchester
In the skies above war-torn Europe, Stanley Wake and his fellow aircrew at Bomber Command risk their lives on missions that are incredibly dangerous and highly pressured. As the strains of their work press on him, Stan is beginning to suspect that either their plane is haunted or Stan himself may be haunted by his part in bringing about death and destruction to so many.
On the ground in Lincoln, Abby Sallow is desperately trying to keep her own ghosts at bay. Working in a factory dismantling wrecked aircraft, Abby struggles to escape the nightly visions of her only son, who was killed at the very outset of war. While Stan longs to live, Abby seems intent on bringing about her own death.
And for intensely superstitious Harry Culpepper, one of Stan's crewmates, it is only the Fates can keep him alive. He has crafted a talisman - a bird skull - that he is convinced will guarantee his safety.
But as the bombing intensifies and the crew count down towards 30 flights completed - the point at which they will be given a reprieve from their deadly work - all three characters will discover whether they can find a chance of peace amongst the devastation of war, and whether the ghosts that haunt them can ever truly be laid to rest.
Moving, evocative and beautifully written, Night Fire establishes Richard Strachan as a major new name in historical fiction.
