The captivating and deeply moving historical novel by the acclaimed author returns!
Absence may strengthen love, but it does nothing to alleviate the anguish of waiting for the worst.
As the Second World War unfolds, nurse Kitty Pattison embarks on a journey of constant relocation as she dedicates herself to her work with the Red Cross, traversing the country from post to post.
With her closest friends, Jo and Trixie, scattered across the United Kingdom, and her soldier sweetheart, Michael, stationed on the continent, engaged in medical missions he cannot disclose, the war takes a heavy toll on Kitty. The long days are interspersed with sleepless nights plagued by nightmares of the horrors she has witnessed on the wards.
Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, Kitty's hopes rise and fall with the arrival of the post—the sole connection she has to her beloved aunt and uncle, her dear friends, and her Michael. Every moment spent with those she cherishes becomes precious, as she knows that each encounter could be the last.
Through her experiences, Kitty learns the true meaning of resilience, sacrifice, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity. Her story is a testament to the power of love and the enduring bonds that tie us together, even in the darkest of times.
This unforgettable novel will transport readers back to a period of history that shaped the world we know today, and leave them with a profound appreciation for the sacrifices made by those who came before us. Prepare to be captivated by the heart-wrenching yet uplifting tale of Kitty Pattison and her journey through the Second World War.
