From the bestselling author of The Road Beyond Ruin comes a novel about a family torn apart by grief and secrets, then pulled back together by hope in the wake of World War I.
England 1922. It’s been four years since Rudy’s brother Edgar went missing in war-torn France. Still deep in mourning and grappling with unanswered questions, Rudy and his mother struggle to move on. When the enigmatic Mariette arrives unexpectedly at the family’s manor claiming to be Edgar’s widow, and the mother of his child, Rudy urges her to stay, hoping she’ll shed light on the missing pieces.
Captivated by Mariette, Rudy finds that their mutual loss and grief bind them…as does the possibility of new love. But Mariette’s revelations bring more questions than answers about Edgar’s death. Suspicions threaten to divide Rudy’s already fractured family, setting him on a quest for the truth that takes him from England to France and beyond.
In his search, Rudy is forced to confront the tragedies of war and the realities of the brother he’s lost and the woman he’s found. Will the truth set him free to find peace, or will it forever shadow his future?
why did I get this. because I LOVED Gemma Liviero's novel, Broken Angels, and since this is also a historical fiction, why not?
why is it still in my tbr. like most of my books, I'm scared that I might not like it as much as I like her other book. Also, I haven't been reading much ebooks recently. I don't know what happened but I've been slow on reading my Kindle books lately.
HOW ABOUT YOU
Have you read these books? What do you think of them? Should I put them at the top of my tbr?
Gorgeous cover, and the blurb tempts me. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone with similar little fears about liking other books by an author. Hopefully, it will be easy to love once you get started on it.
ReplyDeleteI am not familiar with this author, but you know it will be an emotional read.
ReplyDeleteThis one is new to me but I really like the sound of it. I have worried that I will not like other books by authors I have loved in the past. I hope you enjoy this one if you get the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteThat happens to me too. I read a book I love by an author and I hesitate to read another for fear it won't live up to my expectations. This one sounds like it will be really good. I love that cover.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cover for In A Field of Blue. I hope it turns out great!
