A fine conclusion to Ann's story. Her husband is back, but horrors of the war plague him. Will she lose him now to his own thoughts now that she's been reunited? Ann discovers that heroes can fail and cause the loss of life, yet still remain heroes. And those you least expect to be a hero can save lives without even knowing it. This book pays tribute to all the heroes of war--those acknowledged and the many unsung heroes.

This five part novella series is brilliantly written. Hannah Howe's main character and the heroine of each story, Ann, is a woman of sensitivity, determination, insight, and great compassion. She is easy to relate to on so many levels. I throughly enjoyed reading a novella that gets to the point of each story without any side tracks. If you are interested in history and the Second World War and it's implications for those who saw combat, you will be thrilled by the five stories, which connect to one another. Highly recommend!

Loved this book
This was especially touching tale on what the men coming back from war went through. And it appears that all had their issues with what they had seen and done. Hopefully it will never happen on this scale again.
