Synopsis

Beth swayed as she juggled the letters between trembling fingers. If she were to sling the hand-delivered letter in the waste bin unopened, would the nightmare go away? And what if she decided to become a fugitive from justice? She certainly could — October the 8th had seen to that. She had read of cases where the intervention of some disaster had made it possible for someone to go to ground, to simply disappear. Beth had survived, survived for some purpose, survived as a new individual to see things, people and places as if for the very first time. So it is that she thanks the god of coincidence that it was with Leo that she had shared that last compartment of the Liverpool train. Alexander Crombie weaves pathos, romance and high drama into this his fourth novel, which once again is set amidst the fogs and challenges of post-war Britain. While paying tribute to the victims and survivors of an historic event, he explores what it is like to be two of those survivors. Alexander Crombie is the author of 3 earlier novels:-- Become The Wind - 2021 The Eye Of The Clown - 2022 So Long Henry Bear - 2023
