The sequel to Light and Darkness by Wendy Lawrance It's more than twenty years since the end of the First World War, and for most people, it's little more than a distant memory of trenches, lice and noise, and friendships forged to last a lifetime. For Harry Belmont, the nightmares keep it more alive than that, and they continue to haunt him, despite his peaceful existence on the Cornish coast, with his beautiful wife, Elise and daughter, Amy. Now, as tragedy brings Harry back to his childhood home, war looms again; only this time, the fight belongs to the next generation and, Harry must sit and wait... and worry, as the sons of his dearest friends take up arms. They turn to him for help and advice, because he knows, better than any of them, the true cost of war, but when faced with the possibility of a loss much closer to home, who will be there for Harry? Yours Always is a story of love, loss, secrets and remembrance, told during the dark days of the Second World War, from the point of view of the young men and women who must take up the fight, and the older generation, who know what it means to sacrifice everything, and are now being asked to do so again... in the name of their children. Praise for Light and Darkness by Wendy Lawrance This book compelled me to read it till the end in record time for me. It was so brilliantly descriptive I had to remind myself it was a book I was reading and not a film I was watching...I have not read a book that comes anywhere near as compelling a read for a very long time. This is a wonderful book. It is thoroughly researched and well written - which makes it a joy to read. Very moved by this book. Please read it if you haven't. Thanks so much for writing such a touching and beautiful story.
