Book description
Lesley Pearse, No. 1 bestselling author of Stolen and
Belle, returns with the phenomenal novel The Promise.
Heartbreaking, enduring and masterfully told, The Promise will
take you on a breathtaking journey into the battlefields of the First
World War.
War threatens to take all she has loved and lived for . . .
On the outbreak of war, Belle Reilly's husband Jimmy enlists
and heads for the deadly trenches of northern France. But Belle knows
she cannot stand idly by when so many are sacrificing their lives.
Volunteering to help battlefield wounded, Belle is posted to France
as a Red Cross ambulance driver. There, a tragic accident brings her
face to face with Etienne - a man from her past she's never quite
forgotten.
Torn between forbidden passion, loyalty and love, Belle is caught in
an impossible situation. Will she succumb to the dark forces of this
most brutal of wars? Or will fate intervene and finally lead her to
lasting happiness?
The Promise vividly describes life behind the front line and
the tragic choices that war forces people to make.
