Random book about a boy and a girl who grow up together, plan to get married, girl gets stood up at the alter, boy comes back years later, girl forgives him.
Loved this book! For lovers of historical fiction especially WW2 era, this is a must read!
I devoured this book in a day!! I normally don't have a lot of time for reading, but once I started this book, the rest of the world went away --- I could not put it down. Another fabulous story from a Cape Bretoner. Love it!

Willow and Graham have been in love for years. Inseparable. But he leaves her at the altar, running away after the previous night's rehearsal. I found the premise and motivations a little too simplistic to be believes. Graham leaves because of an easily disproved fake allegation, then accepts a ten-year financial obligation that somehow cannot be terminated. Willow, for some unexplained reason, tries to kill her friend and employer but, coincidentally, someone else does the job first. I felt for Willow's many disappointments but overall, the book was a bit tedious.
p.s. I read Where the White Horses Gallop by the same writer and loved it.… (meer)
