Sinopsis

International bestselling author Jennifer Robson once again delights readers with this touching short story of a young woman who has the unexpected opportunity to rekindle love with the wounded American soldier she never forgot.

On the 11th of November, Daisy Fields celebrated the end of the Great War in the embrace of the only man she ever loved. But years later, the only thing she has left of that single, perfect kiss is the fading memory of her beloved's face. When a family tragedy reveals the existence of a letter that has the power to change the course of her life, can Daisy find the soldier she thought was gone forever, or has the truth been buried for far too long?

Originally published in the moving collection Fall of Poppies: Stories of Love and the Great War, this e-book also includes an excerpt from Robson's new novel, Moonlight Over Paris, available now.


Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



I was pleased to read the rest of the Daisy and Capt. Dan story. It was so well written and followed very smoothly after "Moonlight over Paris". It would be great to read a book about a reunion of all the characters since "Somewhere in France".

This story tackles another element that you do not see reflected very often, that of dealing with war injuries, particularly those that disfigured the face. I loved learning about how these face masks were made and how they were the forefront of technology to deal with disfigurement. It was also a sweet romance story about the connections that can be made over life changing experiences. However, I did struggle to get into this story a little bit. The beginning did not grab my attention right from the start and I would have d a better hook. I actually put this book down at this point for a couple months because I just couldn’t get into it. I thought the story picked up once we hit the flashbacks and I honestly could have done without the more contemporary of the parts of the story. I’m glad this wasn’t the kick-off story as it might have colored my opinion for the whole collection.

I loved this story! I'm so glad I got to read Daisy's story. After it was mentioned in the last story and they didn't tell us! I was so mad, then I found out that Jennifer Robson wrote a short story.

I have other books by this author and simply just haven't gotten to them yet. This was the first story I've read of hers and I really enjoyed it. It's well written and I was pulled into the story quickly. Very nice if you enjoy historical fiction...4 s Melenia2,531 6

This was a sweet love story. I enjoyed it. Jessica21

A well-written story and fit into the anthology well, but I had hoped for more substance in this continuation of the story of a secondary character from MOONLIGHT IN PARIS. It was nice to learn more about the character, but I wanted to hear more of what happened after MOONLIGHT IN PARIS was over. Tracey Joseph340
