Remembrance Day 1920: A wartime secret connects three women's lives:

Hettie whose wounded brother won't speak.

Evelyn who still grieves for her lost lover.

And Ada, who has never received an official letter about her son's death, and is still waiting for him to come home.

As the mystery that binds them begins to unravel, far away, in the fields of France, the Unknown Soldier embarks on his journey home. The mood of the nation is turning towards the future - but can these three women ever let go of the past?

Rezensionen

A compelling and emotionally charged debut about the painful aftermath of war and the ways - small, brave or commonplace - that keep us going. It touches feelings we know, and settings - dance halls, war front, queues outside the grocer - that we don't. I loved it. Rachel Joyce, author of THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY
