Omschrijving

An emotional tale of wartime love and sacrifice, inspired by an incredible true story...

As a teenager in Chicago, May always dreamed of travelling the world. So when she meets handsome George Turner, she jumps at the chance to return to London as his wife. Ten years later, May is wondering if she's made a terrible mistake.

It's 1914 and war has been declared in Europe. All around, brave young men are being called up to serve. George, banned from conscription himself, has taken to the bottle, and May suspects he's seeing other women too. She longs for a way to escape.

The chance comes when May meets veteran nurse Elsie, who persuades May to join the war effort. May knows nothing of nursing - it will be difficult, dangerous work, but her heart is telling her it's the right thing to do.

But then George does the unthinkable and May's future is put at risk. Will she have to make the impossible choice between duty to her family and her promise to the soldiers on the front line? And can she live with the consequences if her husband goes through with what he's threatening to do?

A gripping wartime drama, perfect for fans of Soraya M. Lane, Daughters of the Night Sky and Kathryn Hughes.

Readers absolutely love Lizzie Page:
'I couldn't put this book down. Reading about the raw details of war time events was quite emotional... a gritty, raw and touching novel which left me wanting more... Such a wonderful, wonderful book. Loved it.' The Writing Garnet, 5 stars

'I blinking well loved it... really did put me through the emotional wringer and I felt a lump in my throat on more than one occasion... I absolutely loved reading this heart-wrenching but incredibly moving tale about the horrors of war and how strong friendships can be formed under the most trying of circumstances.' Ginger Book Geek, 5 stars

'I absolutely loved this beautifully written book, and was so absorbed in the story that I did not want it to end...This is a book to savour... A poignant, absolutely stunning tale, one of the best books set during the war that I have had the pleasure of reading - very highly recommended.' Renita D'Silva
