The War Between Us

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.
Two brothers. One war. A secret that outlived them both.

Ireland, 1939. While a neutral nation turns its face from the war, the Kildare brothers cannot. Michael takes the King's uniform and a bomber's cockpit over the Channel. Eamon stays behind, running a silent coastal watch against a German agent working his own family's shore. Between them sits their mother, Nora, who answers two sons on two sides with a single act of faith — a place set at the Sunday table, whether the men come home or not.

Then one brother's plane goes down a week before the other closes his net, and the empty chair becomes permanent.

Or so the family believes. For thirty years.

The War Between Us is a sweeping, deeply emotional Irish family saga about divided loyalties, the mercy that looks exactly like a lie, and the terrible price of the things we don't say to protect the people we love. Told across neutral Ireland's Emergency and the long shadow it cast, it builds to a revelation that will leave you undone — and a homecoming thirty years in the making.

For readers who lost their hearts to Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale, the sweep of Ken Follett, and the quiet devastation of Sebastian Barry, this is wartime family fiction at its most intimate and unforgettable. Perfect for book clubs and anyone who loves emotional historical fiction based on true events.

Some secrets are kept out of love. That doesn't make them any less cruel.

A richly drawn, standalone saga in The Kildare House Chronicles. Read it on its own — or fall in love with the whole family.
