Publisher Description
A brief encounter changes two lives forever in an enthralling novel of courage, loss, love and hope.
England 1944. In the shadow of the war raging in Europe, Tom and Anna meet by chance. He is an American pilot on a 72-hour pass and she is a secretary, trapped in a life going nowhere. Surprised by each other, they begin a passionate affair.
Their happiness does not last. Shot down over Europe, wounded and 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? In a world where promises are hard to keep, all she can do is hope. Until she discovers her mother is keeping secrets, and then it is a race against time.
From the hardships of a war-weary England to the dangers of occupied France, Another Time and Place is an emotional love story like no other. Perfect for fans of Deborah Swift, Pam Jenoff and Sebastian Faulks.

Another time and place
So very captivating of the war era. I was riveted from the first page.
What a battle axe the mother was to be polite.
Tripe
Poor read, little knowledge of the period, full of anachronisms. The female lead character would not have asked for a first class stamp in 1945 since the system of first and second class post was. It introduced until 1968.
Abrupt ending
Good characters and good story. I would of liked to of known the dates where the story switched back in time and from the different characters. The release of the prisoners was almost a non event leading straight to the ending you might just as well of written ‘and they all lived happy ever after’. It would of been nice to have an epilogue.
