After the War

From this day forward – when Evie uttered those words, they were about day-to-day survival in the midst of a world war. How could she have envisaged the future that lay ahead with her Kiwi soldier in the rural Bay of Plenty after the war? A future of triumph and tragedy, heaven and hell – and hiraeth for her Welsh homeland that would last as long as she lived. 

Praise for War Bride:

"This is an outstanding story of two ordinary, recognisable and totally familiar people from opposite hemispheres who, but for World War II, would never have met.
The author's skill in description and depiction of motives, purposes and occurrences reveal an outstanding grasp of people and their motivations."

— MJ Burr (Author, historian)

"I couldn't put this book down. Now I've finished it, I am hoping Fenton writes a second book to tell the story of the young couple as they leave Britain and start their life in New Zealand."

—Lynn Jenner (Winner of The Adam Foundation Prize in Creative Writing)
