In a world destroyed by war, can hope survive? Summer 1918: Young
couple Amy and Edmond Derwent, after their experiences on the front
line of battle - Edmond as an officer and Amy as a VAD in France -
have now settled back in England and are starting to build a life
as a family, with the arrival of baby Beth bringing them
much-needed joy. But while she may have married into the wealthy
Derwent family, now living with her in-laws in their grand home,
Amy's modest upbringing means that she is never truly accepted by
Edmond's family. The Great War rages on, and while the men are off
fighting, those left at home steel themselves for tragic news,
praying that their loved ones return safely. Edmond, still
struggling with the effects of the injury he sustained at Ypres,
feels the guilt of remaining at home while his friends are sent
into battle. But life at Larchbury is not without its own problems
- as food becomes scarce, and the Spanish Influenza causes deaths
throughout England, tragedy strikes closer to home and it seems no
one is safe from heartbreak. Can Amy and Edmond keep their love
strong, even in a world crumbling all around them? A captivating
family saga set in WW1 about the power of love amongst the
heartbreak of war - if you like Rosie Goodwin, Katie Flynn and Val
Wood, you'll be swept away by this engrossing, emotional novel.
