The Great War drove them apart – but love kept them together
Summer 1914: Shy young woman, Amy Fletcher, lives a quiet life in Sussex. An office worker, she lives at home, along with her parents and spirited younger brother, Bertie. But her life is transformed when she meets handsome young man, Edmond Derwent, son of one of the wealthiest families in the small town of Larchbury, and student at Cambridge University.
The couple are falling deeply in love when war breaks out and, eager to do his duty for England, Edmond signs up as an officer. The couple plan to be wed, eager to start a new life together - but their happiness is short-lived when Edmond is sent to Flanders to lead his men into battle. Amy trains as a VAD nurse and is soon sent to France, where she sees the true horror of war inflicted on the brave young men sent to fight.
Separated by war, Edmond and Amy share their feelings through emotional letters sent from the front line. But when Edmond is critically wounded at Ypres, their love faces the biggest test of all – can their love stay strong while the world around them is crumbling?
A romantic, emotional saga set in WW1 – readers of Rosie Goodwin, Katie Flynn and Val Wood will be captivated by this story of love.

Review
Rosemary Goodacre’s first novel Until We Meet Again is a lovely gentle wartime romance featuring young Amy Fletcher and handsome Edmond Derwent.

At the beginning of the story Amy is an office worker, living with her younger Bertie and their parents in their modest home. One of Amy’s main pastimes is spending free time with the Suffragette movement and her friends Florence and Lavinia. Edmond comes from the wealthiest family in the village and is a student at Cambridge.

A chance meeting with Edmond, an old childhood acquaintance in Hove leads to the beginning of a strong romance between the two. Initially its class and wealth differences which seem to cause problems for their blossoming romance. As the months past and war breaks out Amy and Edmond encounter more and more complications which prevent their romance from developing, will they ever find their happy ever after.

Although this book predominantly focuses on the romance of Amy and Edmond there was plenty of details of wartime events which were unfolding around them and how these affected both of their families, which made for a very emotional read. Rosemary Goodacre seems to have captured the anguish and hope faced by many at this time very well and there were a couple of times I shed a tear or two.

I love that the author has hinted there will be a second book as I did feel there were parts of the stories of the minor characters left untold which left me frustrated at the end of the book. I’d love to know what life has in store for Florence, Lavinia and even Beatrice as the war comes to an end.
Overall this was an enjoyable read and if you’re a fan of Elaine Everest, Elaine Roberts or Kate Thompson then I’m sure you’ll love this book.

Thank you so much to the author and publisher for sending me a copy to review and to Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me to be part of this blog tour.

  2. Ever since my husband got me divorced for the past 2 years, i v'e not been my self. I was reviewing some post of how i could get back my husband then, i saw a testimony shared by Marina Choas from SWEDEN about a spell caster named Dr. tunde. I contacted Marina Chaos to confirm about how Dr. tunde helped her and she clarified everything to me of how he helped her and that gave me the courage to get in touch with Dr. tunde for help. Dr. tunde assured me that my days of sorrows will be over within 48hours after he has finished with his work. I followed his instructions he gave to me because i had the believe, faith, hope and trust in him. Verily i say to you today that i and my husband are back together and i can proudly say and testify to the world of what Dr. tunde did for me.

  7. I trusted Dr dodo totally from the time I spoke with him during the period my husband Left me after 7 years of our marriage, He started the spell work on my husband, and gave me so much assurance and guaranteed me that he was going to bring my husband back to my feet in just 48 hours of the spell casting. I was so confident in his work and just as he said in the beginning, my husband is finally back to me again, yes he is back with all his hearts, Love, care, emotions and flowers and things are better now. I would have no hesitation to recommend this powerful spell caster to anybody who is in need of help.. E-mail; drdodotemple @ gmail com or whatsapp him on +1 (706) 871-4571
