Remembrance

by Bess Hamilton

Maggie Lancaster has a secret. She was glad her husband William died in World War I, even if the war took everything else she loved, including her brother. Her happiness turns to terror when, seven years later, William comes home, unable to speak and with no memory. Where was he? What really happened on the battlefield? And has William changed from the cruel, possessive man he once was, or is he hiding something far more sinister beneath his miraculous resurrection?
Maggie revisits events from before the war, uncovering secrets that may hold the key to William’s return. But when Maggie discovers what William’s actions were while in the trenches, Maggie realizes more than her happiness is at stake.

[Katie Woychyshyn · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved this book for its description and the raw emotion coming from the characters as their stories twist and influence one another. I am so happy to find a local author with such a flair for description and so happy that Hamilton did such a great job in writing. However, the author has a bit of room to improve in timeline structure and POV shifts, as they were a bit confusing at times. Loved the overall story though! I was not expecting the paranormal tones and loved them.

It took me a little while to get into this book but, once I did, I couldn't put it down! I didn't really know what to expect so was surprised by the paranormal twist the story took. Although I really enjoyed that aspect of it, what I loved the most about this story was exploring what love meant to each of these characters and how it influenced, or in some cases, perverted their actions. I hope to read more by this author in the future!
