Whispers on the Water
£0.01
First Audrey Howard Book - I picked this book up from Oxfam (where I volunteer) and the blurb deeply interested me. This is the tale of Grace Tooley and when she first sets eyes on Rupert Bradley, her eldest brother s friend, she instantly falls for him. They later meet again after her eldest brother s death and he offers her his sympathy. They meet again during the war where Rupert is broken by what he has endured whereas Grace has emerged as a strong woman from the burdens she had to handle after her brother s death. Rupert rejects Grace s love but Grace is determined to find a way for him to love her.This book was amazing - rich in detail - sometimes a bit too much information(i.e. soldier battles) and it does have a slow beginning for the first 80 pages but the rest is truly wonderful. It s over 500 pages long but a wonderful, wonderful book. Grace is truly an amazing woman and it brings tears to your eyes as she deals with what life throws at her. Her romance with Rupert is complicated but a love journey that makes you want to turn the pages.Very rich in detail and a highly recommended book for war romance lovers. I found it highly touching, moving and graceful book. As much as the beginning might be slow - stick with it - there s so much more to come...
