Summary

-- maman € Years later, in the wake of World War I, Clare, now an artist, returns to France to help create facial prostheses for wounded soldiers. One of the wary veterans who comes to the studio seems familiar, and as his mask takes shape beneath her fingers, she recognizes Luc. But is this soldier, made bitter by battle and betrayal, the same boy who once wrote her wistful letters from Paris? After war and so many years apart, can Clare and Luc recapture how they felt at the edge of that long-ago summer? € Bringing to life two unforgettable characters and the rich historical period they inhabit, Jessica Brockmole shows how love and forgiveness can redeem us. € -- -- -- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society € "An absorbing and rewarding saga of loss and discovery."---Richmond Times-Dispatch € "A captivating love story that celebrates the power of hope."--Vanessa Diffenbaugh, author of The Language of Flowers From the Hardcover edition
