This haunting and beautiful novel is set in Cornwall and reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier and Rosamunde Pilcher. Romantic and moving, it is a tale of loss and love, the devastation of war and the brave generation who sacrificed everything to fight for freedom.
The Promise is a powerful novel of heart-break, friendship and love, with characters - and an ending - the reader won't forget.
"One of my books of the year," Being Anne.
