“I really enjoyed your book, Aileen. I loved the way you put it together and I found it flowed easily while reading. I can tell that you’ve done your research well – the names of the characters for that era, the songs that were playing in the Club, the flora on Robben Island etc. I could even smell the Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow tree! I am sure that there will be many people who will be able to identify with the special place that special friendships have in our lives. Although I had tears in my eyes at the end, you also managed to put a smile on my face. Well done! Don’t stop writing! May God continue to bless you in all you do and use you to bring blessings to others.” – Kerry Scullard

“I have read all of Aileen’s books but this latest one Radar Love blew me away.
You know the feeling when you pick up a book and you instantly feel a connection to the main character in the story?? Well this isn’t a book like that - this book you will feel a connection to ALL FOUR characters. A beautiful war romance set in South Africa in the 1940’s, four university friends that find themselves entwined together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them, they come to form a bond that lasts a lifetime.
First of all I thought maybe this book “gripped me” was because growing up I lived in a country that was fighting a war and our town had several army bases and living with soldiers in town was normal, so I related to the story line - but I soon realized the reason I loved this book wasn’t because of that - it was simply because it is written so brilliantly.
I lived in this book - often even put the book down and actually listened via you-tube to the songs that were playing at the clubs mentioned in the book just to put myself amongst the pages. The book takes you on a roller coaster emotional ride through chapters of love, laughter, loss and ultimately, coming to terms with life and it’s curved balls.
It is so beautifully written I felt as though it enabled me to be a part of that era even though before I picked up the book I had little knowledge of what life in South Africa was like.
I am not going to spoil anything by giving away the story all I can say is just buy it, read it, and make up your own mind. Whatever else it might do, it will definitely touch your soul,” – Angie Wide
