ABOUT THE BOOK
The
wind ruffled Darcy’s hair. “You’re beautiful.”
Happiness
surged through Elizabeth's body like electricity. This moment was as close to
perfection as she had ever known.
1943. World War II has torn the continent since 1939 and tested
families, the Bennets included. Elizabeth and Jane nurse wounded soldiers and
civilians in a London hospital. The other sisters volunteer as best suits their
inclinations. Mr. Bennet rattles about Longbourn. Wickham sniffs about the
edges of the estate—and the Bennet daughters.
Even the ever-present threat of death from the skies cannot prepare Jane and Lizzy for the most devastating news. The words one never wishes to hear are delivered by two officers, each scarred by years on the front lines. In the dark days that follow, devotion is tested, and affection blooms.
