Resumen del Editor

Gwen’s war is over, but her greatest battle is about to begin.

From the author of The Lost Ones, a mesmerising gothic novel which was shortlisted for the Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Award and the Historical Writers’ Association Debut Crown Award…

May, 1945. When bells ring out for Victory in Europe, young wife and mother Gwen wonders if her world is about to change.

Six years ago, on their wedding night, her husband Jack promised he would leave for the war and never return.

But Jack is coming home, unable to keep the promise he so faithfully made, and full of hope that he may at last win a place in Gwen’s life and her heart.

As events of the past return to haunt them, threatening all they hold dear, Jack and Gwen find themselves facing their greatest battle yet.

To win, they will have to stand together and fight as one.

In this sweeping historical story with huge heart, Anita Frank weaves a glorious tale of love and loss, secrets and promises.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I loved every minute of The Return by Anita Frank - it’s a truly wonderful novel, so beautifully written and with an engrossing plot. The characters are wonderfully drawn. From now on, Anita will be a must-read author for me." (Jill Mansell, best-selling author of And Now You're Back)

"Set during World War Two, Anita Frank weaves a beautiful and poignant love story that tugged at my heartstrings and kept me thoroughly absorbed. With her remarkable writing and compelling, believable characters, I was hooked from the start and bereft at the end. Highly recommend this moving second novel by Anita Frank." (Jenny Quintana, author of The Hiding Place)

"Anita Frank follows up her celebrated debut with an engrossing story of loss, betrayal and love on the farming home front during World War Two.... This is addictive storytelling that immerses the reader in the struggles of women in wartime and the traumas of the men who returned to them. Anita Frank’s clear, sensitive writing moves us expertly through the farming year. Long-lost routines of rural labour are deftly described by a writer with a lyrical feel for the English countryside as well as an empathetic eye for family drama. The Return is a fantastic follow-up to The Lost Ones and I can’t wait to read whatever Anita Frank delivers next!" (Carolyn Kirby, author of The Conviction of Cora Burns)
