Publisher's summary

A beautiful, bittersweet WWI romance lights up an English village at Christmas with harrowing secrets, love lost and found, and the breathtaking power of forgiveness.

Vivid and achingly real, Sally Nicholls’s latest historical romance explores the fallout from an unexpected pregnancy during the First World War. It’s Christmastime, 1919. Three years before, seventeen-year-old Margot Allan, a respectable vicar’s daughter, fell passionately in love. But she lost her fiancé, Harry, to the Great War. In turn, she gained a desperate secret, one with the power to ruin her life and her family’s reputation, a secret she guards at all costs. Now Margot’s family is gathering at the vicarage for the first time since the War ended. And Harry, it turns out, isn’t dead. He’s alive and well, and looking for answers. Can their love survive the truth? Based on the author’s family history, this evocative and stirring exploration of the human and emotional side of war is young-adult historical fiction at its finest, written with the immediacy and understanding of the complexities of the human heart that are the hallmark of the author’s work.

Good Book!

It was a really good story. It kept me on my toes in suspense and kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I definitely recommend the story and it is warm to the heart because this story is a true story

Lovely if slow paced

Beautiful narration and a sweet if slow romance. Yes, the main character does seem to agonize and procrastinate endlessly, but I took that as a symptom of the way society treated women in her position at that time. The end I ding isn’t a perfect HEA, but it is hopeful.
