Learn moreAfter the Great War, a nurse and a damaged soldier become dangerously entangled in this “sensitive, unsettling tale” by the author of A Particular Man (The Independent).
Sometimes love hurts. Sometimes love kills…
It’s 1920 and Britain is attempting to move on after World War I. Clementine, who was a nurse on the frontlines and suffered her own losses, is trying to settle back into her comfortable middle-class life as a doctor’s wife. But when she meets Vincent, a man so battered he must wear a mask to hide his scars, a perilous and magnetic attraction develops between them.
As their passion erupts and takes a darker turn, it threatens to spell disaster.
Will either of them ever recover from the lingering horrors of war? And can both of them walk away from their affair unscathed?
