As Margaret sets out to discover where her mother has gone, she must also face the truth of what happened to her family long ago. Only a single letter remains as a clue to Elspeth’s whereabouts. Then, after a bomb rocks Elspeth’s house, and letters that were hidden in a wall come raining down, Elspeth disappears. Her mother warns her against seeking love in wartime, an admonition Margaret doesn’t understand. June 1940: At the start of World War II, Elspeth’s daughter, Margaret, has fallen for a pilot in the Royal Air Force. But as World War I engulfs Europe and David volunteers as an ambulance driver on the Western front, Elspeth can only wait for him on Skye, hoping he’ll survive. As the two strike up a correspondence-sharing their favorite books, wildest hopes, and deepest secrets-their exchanges blossom into friendship, and eventually into love.
So she is astonished when her first fan letter arrives, from a college student, David Graham, in far-away America. March 1912: Twenty-four-year-old Elspeth Dunn, a published poet, has never seen the world beyond her home on Scotland’s remote Isle of Skye. Genre: historical fiction, WWI / WWII fiction
