The Return: From the author of historical fiction books comes the most breathtaking World War Two love story of 2021
Anita Frank
A remarkable novel about love, family, sacrifice and loss set during the Second World War from the author of the spellbinding historical ghost story The Lost Ones.
As the bells ring out across Britain marking Victory in Europe the country erupts into celebration. Most women are overjoyed that their loved ones – their husbands, sweethearts, husbands, brothers – will soon be coming home. Most women. Not all.
For young wife and mother, Gwen, the peeling bells elicit a sense of dread. There is nothing she fears more than the return of her husband, Jack – though she has no real reason to expect him back. After all, when he left the family farm he promised her faithfully that she would never see him again.
But war has a way of changing people and Jack is coming home, determined to claim his place in Gwen’s life.
Now the greatest battle of all awaits them both.
In this sweeping historical story with a huge heart, Anita Frank weaves a glorious tale of love and loss, secrets and promises.
