New York Times bestselling author Hazel Gaynor has joined
with Heather Webb to create this unforgettably romantic
novel of the Great War. August 1914. England is at war. As
Evie Elliott watches her brother, Will, and his best friend,
Thomas Harding, depart for the front, she believes—as
everyone does—that it will be over by Christmas, when
the trio plan to celebrate the holiday among the romantic
cafes of Paris. But as history tells us, it all happened so
differently… Evie and Thomas experience a very
different war. Frustrated by life as a privileged young
lady, Evie longs to play a greater part in the
conflict—but how?—and as Thomas struggles with
the unimaginable realities of war he also faces personal
battles back home where War Office regulations on press
reporting cause trouble at his father’s newspaper
business. Through their letters, Evie and Thomas share their
greatest hopes and fears—and grow ever fonder from
afar. Can love flourish amid the horror of the First World
War, or will fate intervene? Christmas 1968. With failing
health, Thomas returns to Paris—a cherished packet of
letters in hand—determined to lay to rest the ghosts
of his past. But one final letter is waiting for him…
