When newlyweds Iris and Harrison are separated by the draft less than a month into their marriage, both are forced into battles they never expected.
A dentist by trade, Harrison is thrust into the unforgiving realities of combat medicine, carrying his limited skills from the beaches of Normandy through the brutal winter of the Ardennes and into the haunting aftermath of Dachau liberation. Each step farther south into Europe pulls him away from the man Iris once knew.
Meanwhile, Iris wages a quieter battle-against loneliness, uncertainty, and the slow erosion of hope as letters falter and the war stretches on. Bound by love but altered by separation, heartbreak, sacrifice, and enduring devotion, Due South explores wartime trauma, PTSD, grief, and the lasting impact of war on marriage and family across generations.
Inspired by real events, family photographs, military records, oral histories, and preserved wartime artifacts, Due South blends sweeping historical detail with the emotional intimacy of literary fiction. This deeply human story shines a light on the courage of ordinary people living through extraordinary times.
Perfect for readers of The Nightingale, The Women, The Things We Cannot Say and The Book Thief, Due South is a moving family saga about survival, healing,
and the kind of love that endures long after war is over.
