About this ebook
Through her diary, a WWI nurse connects with a modern Englishwoman as they each endure the trials of love in this “engrossing tale” of time-slip romance (GreatHistoricals).
Everyone thinks Lexi O’Connor is crazy when she falls in love with Hollingsworth House, a crumbling old Georgian mansion in Yorkshire. And nobody is more concerned than her husband, Dylan. But for Lexi, there is something undeniably compelling about the place. And when she discovers a mysterious old diary on the property, her interest turns to obsession.
The diary once belonged to a woman named Allie, an Australian nurse working in France during the First World War. As Lexi’s marriage crumbles, like the façade of Hollingsworth, she finds comfort and companionship in Allie’s diary. And as Lexi reads, a scandalous tale unfolds—one of horror at front, the passion of forbidden love, and Allie’s scandalous connection to Hollingsworth . . .
“An emotional, satisfying read with plenty of fascinating turns and twists . . . An engrossing tale of the ability of the human spirit to persevere!” —GreatHistoricals

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A diary written by a nurse on the front lines during World War I has a profound impact on a woman in the 21st century. Allie, the nurse, had one true love that came to her after she was thirty and while she was caring for the wounded. That love was deep abiding and everything to her and to her Danny. Lexi finds Allie’s diary on property she eventually purchases and reading it impacts her deeply. She cherishes the diary and wishes that she, too, will eventually find that same kind of love for herself. This is a beautifully written story of two women. The characters are well developed, the issues dealt by both women very believable, the historical aspects of the war intense and educational and the story one I could not put down - at all – I was drawn in from the beginning and had to find out what would happen. I will also say that being an RN and having an interest in the history of nursing made this book even more special to me.This is the first book I have read by this author but I will be looking for more of her books in hopes that they will be just as wonderful. Thank you to NetGalley and ChocLit for the copy of this book to read and review.
