In 1914, young husbands and sons set off in high spirits for the grand adventure of war, a war promised to be over by Christmas. Little do they realise that four long years of horror lay ahead.
The Great War shatters the peaceful lives of newlywed Australian immigrants, Walter and Winnie and Winnie's sister, Francesca. Their families lie over the ocean, and their brothers fight on the battlefields of Europe. Torn by loyalties, Winnie sets off on a perilous sea journey shortly after the sinking of The Lusitania by German U- boats.
The scene shifts from Australia to Gallipoli and the battlefields of France, culminating at the mystical Mont Saint Michel off the Normandy coast. Here, Effie one of the many tiny victims of war, finds refuge in the abbey orphanage.
It is all a matter of time.
Will authorities find Effie's parents at war's end? How long can Winnie's brother, Gustave survive the trenches? And can returning soldiers escape the deadly grip of the Spanish Flu?
Whether read as a stand-alone novel or sequel to The Piano Tuner's Daughters, this story will tear at your heartstrings especially as it is based on a true story.
