England, 1944. A chance meeting changes two people's lives for ever. Young American pilot Tom Blake isn't looking for love, but seeing Anna Pilgrim in a tearoom on a cold winter afternoon changes everything. So begins a passionate affair. Their happiness does not last. Shot down over Europe, wounded, in hiding, Tom has no way of telling Anna he is alive. And Anna, left waiting in England, has no way of finding out. How can she know that Tom is struggling to return to her? Or that the thought of her is all that keeps him going on the long journey home? Interwoven with the danger of Tom's fight to survive is the story of Anna's own struggle to face the uncertainty of waiting. Set vividly against the hardship of the Second World War, Another Time and Place is at once a compelling love story, an enthralling adventure and a moving depiction of the resilience of the human spirit.
