The war brought them together. And will tear them apart . . .

''A real emotional treat'' DAILY MAIL

''Epic, romantic, devastating'' HEAT

''Beautifully and surprisingly gritty'' RED

1914. Daring debutante Vivian Foster is about to complete a triumphant season in London society. Then her world crumbles, just as the country erupts into a devastating war. Everything seems bleak. Until she meets Howard.

Celebrated playwright Howard Henderson wants no part in the killing of a faceless enemy. He wishes he could convey the depth of inhumanity he has witnessed at the Front but the words won''t come. Until he meets Vivian.

Now they''ve found each other - and something worth fighting for.

But will the war demand that sacrificing their future together is the only way to honour their love?

Industry Reviews

Sweet, sharp and simply unforgettable

A beautifully written, thoughtful exploration of love and loss... This is Parks at the top of her consistently excellent game and is one of those rare books you won't stop thinking about until long after you turn the final page - Daily Mail

Dramatic and swooningly romantic, this is historical fiction with real heart - Marie Claire

A wonderful exploration of love

Parks is brilliant on friendship, relationships and family, plus this time round we're treated to deftly observed period detail... utterly compelling - Glamour

Well observed, original and wonderfully crafted - Sun

Beautifully observed and researched, this builds into a terrific drama of the conflict between individual passions and the demands of war
