The eighth novel in Julia Quinn’s globally beloved and bestselling Bridgerton Family series, set in Regency times and now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. Finally, this is Gregory’s story . . .
Unlike most men of his acquaintance, Gregory Bridgerton is a firm believer in true love. He’d have to be an idiot not to be: all seven of his siblings are happily married. Gregory figures he is just biding his time until the right woman comes along. And so when he sees Hermione Watson, he knows with every fibre of his being, that she is meant to be his.
But through Hermione’s closest – and slightly less beautiful – friend, Lucy Abernathy, he finds out that Hermione is desperately in love with another man. Sadly, by the time Gregory figures out the right girl is actually the wrong girl, and the right girl was Lucy all along, it’s too late. Lucy is to marry another!
Now – on the way to the wedding – Gregory must figure out how to thwart the nuptials and convince Lucy that she was always meant to be his…
Over There immerses readers in the gripping journey of four family
members from Threadbare and In the Hands of Women, all dedicated
doctors and nurses, facing the daunting realities of The Great War.
Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, the narrative
unfolds across three distinct stages, transporting readers into the
terrifying nightmare of trench warfare, and showcasing the
extraordinary rise of the American Hospital in Paris, while
highlighting groundbreaking medical innovations fueled by the
unwavering commitment of healthcare workers, and finally, those left
home in a state of constant worry. This powerful book courageously
addresses the often-overlooked, profound impact of war on children,
evoking a deep sense of empathy and prompting critical reflection on
the cost of war.
