I nearly bought this at a book sale so was pleased to find this at The Bean OBCZ. Thanks.

The Great War took much more than lives. It robbed a generation of friends, lovers and futures. In Freddie Watson's case, it took his beloved brother and, at times, his peace of mind. Unable to cope with his grief, Freddie has spent much of the time since in a sanatorium. In the winter of 1928, still seeking resolution, Freddie is travelling through the French Pyrenees - another region that has seen too much bloodshed over the years. During a snowstorm, his car spins off the mountain road. Shaken, he stumbles into the woods, emerging by a tiny village. There he meets Fabrissa, a beautiful local woman, also mourning a lost generation. Over the course of one night, Fabrissa and Freddie share their stories of remembrance and loss. By the time dawn breaks, he will have stumbled across a tragic mystery that goes back through the centuries. By turns thrilling, poignant and haunting, this is a story of two lives touched by war and transformed by courage.

A lovely book with photos and extras including reading group notes and a short story. Good story about a lost village.
Thanks

To be taken to the Birmingham meet up, if not picked up then left on the shelves at the OBCZ.

Apparently I never journalled this and have had it for three years! Sorry, Rita!

This is a competent ghost story but it is Freddie that has stayed with me. His state of mind and grief for his brother is written beautifully.

This wasn't picked up at the latest Birmingham Bookcrossing meetup so taking to Pookledo's shop OBCZ in Loughborough.

Taking to meetup at Purple Pumpkin Patch.

Caught at the inaugural Loughborough bookcrossing meet. Has been a wished for book for a while so really looking forward to it :-)

Releasing at Loughborough bookcrossing meet
