The Bride of the Almond Tree
Robert Hillman

Can one broken heart heal another?

Wesley Cunningham has come home from the War with more wounds than he can count. What he wants now is a quiet life - and he's fallen in love with his beautiful, fiercly intelligent neighbour Beth Hardy.

But Beth's own battles have just begun. Determined to change the world, her committment and ideals will extract a heavy toll. Through it all, Wes will not stop loving her. This is the story of their journey through the catastrophic mid-twentieth century to find a way of being together.
