  • "The lives of two couples haunted by loss, guilt, and dark memories over the events of World War I become intertwined by the strong power of love."@en
  • "London, April 1919. The war is over and Riley Purefoy and Nadine Waveney are free to start their married life. At only 23 it is all before them. But Riley's physical damage from the war has left awkward tensions between him and Nadine - will the aftermath threaten to keep them at a distance from each other forever? At Locke Hall, Peter and Julia Locke are facing their own trauma. With Peter living a reclusive life and drinking heavily to blot out the memories of war, can their marriage have a future? And what of their two young children, Tom and Kitty, who have no awareness of the horror that is behind them? As each family must contend with the scars of the war, their lives become firmly intertwined. But after all those years of orders and terror and imminent death, can they ever truly move forward?"
  • "1919, and Britain is realising that it is no longer at war. Now, Nadine and Riley, Rose, and Peter and Julia, must try to regain a sense of normality. But long shadows cast by the war dim the potential joys of peacetime, and matters of the heart prove arduous and bewildering. Normality doesn't seem to exist the way it did, and there is no 'going back' to anything. What must give, for happiness to stand a chance?"
  • "April 1919. The Great War has ended and childhood sweethearts Nadine Waveney and Riley Purefoy are married. Riley is wounded and disfigured and they long for a marriage made of love and passion rather than dependence and pity. Riley's former CO Major Peter Locke, his hysterical wife and the young son they barely know attempt to navigate family life, but are confounded by the ghosts and memories of war. Despite all this, there is the glimmer of promise in the distance: Rose Locke, Peter's cousin and Riley's former nurse, finds that independence might be hers for the taking, after all."
