Description

A buried trutht and a life changing betrayal in this gripping WWII story
In the summer of 1940, Gwen Collingwood bids farewell to her husband, bound for the Front, knowing she may never see him again.
In Canada, farmer, Jim Armstrong, impulsively joins the army and is sent to England, after a terrible betrayal by his fiancée and his brother.

Gwen faces regular devastating German bomb attacks on her sleepy English seaside town. Meanwhile for Jim, the war has become a frustrating waiting game as Canadian troops are held back in reserve.

Gwen reveals strengths she never knew she had as the turbulent events of war force her to confront aspects of her past she has buried and acknowledge newly emerging emotions. Jim must dig deep to find a way to forgive his brother and rekindle his will to live. Thrown together by the war, can Gwen and Jim find hope and redemption in adversity - and each other?

This sweeping epic story is the first in a series of three novels which explore how war - and its aftermath - dramatically changes lives. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Rhys Bowen and Fiona Valpy.

"Flynn's novel is a vivid page-turner that depicts the destruction of war, but it is most notable for its portrayal of the effects it has on individual lives." -- BookLife, Publishers Weekly
