Historical
This novel is an emotional saga set against the turbulent backdrop of the first half of the 20th century, intertwining the lives of three families, two British and one French, bound by love, an horrendous crime, and the enduring scars of war.
Squadron Leader Robert Banster, an RAF pilot, is deeply in love with Elizabeth, a beautiful young woman he met in 1937. Their marriage is blissful until Robert is deployed during the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940. Shot down over France and captured, he endures years of imprisonment in the harsh confines of a German prisoner of war camp, but it is a letter from Elizabeth, not enemy bullets, that wounds him most deeply, shattering Robert's trust and plunging him into doubt and bitterness.
Returning home, he faces the painful reality of a family that has changed during his absence. Strained by guilt, suspicion, and unspoken resentment, their once-happy marriage begins to crumble, leading to devastating consequences. Alone and heartbroken, Elizabeth struggles to rebuild her life, but just when she has given up on love, a stranger appears, offering hope for a second chance at happiness.
