The Jamaican Rear Gunner
Julie and Jamie’s mother never appears in person in the novel, but Julie mentions her several times in her account. She lives in the family’s Scottish castle, and when World War II breaks out, she takes in eight Glaswegian evacuees. At the end of the novel, Maddie sends her written account, along with Julie’s, to Julie’s mother. Julie’s mother is glad to have them and promises to keep them safe, and she asks that Maddie stay in touch.

Quotes
Julie has vanished.
It’s true she made her first meeting—Tues. 12 Oct., the day after we got here, but then she simply disappeared as if she’d never been in France. Today’s the 21st. She’s been missing over a week.
I understand now why her mother plays Mrs. Darling and leaves the windows open in her children’s bedrooms when they’re away. As long as you can pretend they might come back, there’s hope. I don’t think there can be anything worse in the world than not knowing what’s happened to your child—not ever knowing.
