Love In Wartime
June 1944. In the aftermath of D-Day, Private William Hartwell of the Green Howards finds himself bound by a dying comrade’s final request: write to his sister Mabel and ensure she’s not alone.
What begins as a duty-bound letter from a stranger becomes an extraordinary correspondence that will transform two lives forever.
William is a gentle soul from Yorkshire – a former postman turned reluctant soldier who sees beauty amid the chaos of war-torn France. Thoughtful and artistic, he carries a notebook filled with observations and dreams of becoming a cartographer when peace returns.
Mabel is a sharp-witted, independent woman working at the Ministry in wartime London. Recently freed from an engagement that never felt quite right, she finds herself drawn to the thoughtful voice of a soldier she’s never met. As dangers threaten the capital, she discovers that sometimes the most profound connections begin with a letter from a stranger.
Through intimate correspondence spanning twelve months, William and Mabel’s relationship evolves from sympathy to friendship to something deeper. But their growing bond faces challenges beyond the perils of war – questions about the past, shadows from Mabel’s former life, and mysteries that threaten to tear them apart just as they’re finding each other.
Set against the authentic backdrop of 1940s Britain, this is a story of two people discovering love through the written word during humanity’s darkest hour. Each letter brings them closer together whilst revealing that some secrets can change everything.
Perfect for readers who love historical romance, wartime fiction, and the intimacy of epistolary storytelling.
