Description:

The BRAND NEW moving story of love and courage that will captivate readers of Fiona Valpy, Lorna Cook and Hazel Gaynor. 'Spanning continents and decades, this sweeping epic stole my heart' - Renita D'Silva

1941: For the townspeople of Poole on the Dorset coast, the war feels like it's right on their doorstep. And with more and more men leaving to fight, one fisherman's daughter is determined to do whatever she can to help. Peggy volunteers to use her skills on the water to work with the flying boats alongside the RAF based in the harbour. But when she is asked to undertake a special mission, she will have to make a terrible choice - between her duty to her country and her only chance of happiness.
1998: Rebekah has travelled halfway around the world to take up a role on Brownsea Island. This tiny island off the coast of England is a treasure trove of natural wonder, but it still carries the scars of fighting. And when Rebekah discovers a lost letter from the war, hidden all this time, she becomes determined to deliver it, fifty years later.
But the idyllic Dorset harbour hides many more secrets, and Rebekah's search for the truth will change her life in ways she never imagined possible.
Readers are loving Rachel Sweasey's captivating writing:
'I was swept up by this beautiful story of love, loss and the courage of so many during WW2' - Helen Parusel
'I loved this dual time-line read. Set in the start of WW2 and present day it deals with loss and war and finding love when you don't expect to ever love again. This was a great book and I highly recommend this one.' Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'Loved this book. I got totally immersed in the characters and their lives, loves and loss. The mix of fact and fiction and the two different time lines worked very well.' Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'A brutally honest account of how both men and women coped with the changes in their lives. This author writes so authentically about grieving that at times I simply had to stop reading. Anyone who has lost someone will immediately identify with the visceral pain felt by the characters. The settings were gorgeous and the descriptions of French food made me long to go back.' Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
