Against the backdrop of the First World War, a young soldier tries to forget his past and survive each day.
Back in England, a young woman who has made a terrible mistake tries to forget that he ever existed.
Memories of happy summers long past mock the brutality of the world they now live in and each day; both on the front line and at home is a struggle to survive.
But somehow, in the flare of bombs and the ashes of the battlefield... A youthful love simply refuses to die.
And the repercussions of a buried, forbidden passion haunts them both.

Once, they were almost something. Almost collaborators. Almost lovers. Until one overheard conversation shattered everything.

North Road {HS}
His eyes are a shade of green I can't quite put a name to. Muddy, overwhelming, pain might come close, and maybe that's why it seems so familiar. Because his arms, clad in the faded homespun my mother once made, feel like home. He's a sad, lovely song I don't know the words too but long with every ounce of my being to sing. ----------------------------- It's 1918 and an entire generation is aching in its very bones. Love and loss are bedfellows. Sometimes in the aftermath of death things grow and in the aftermath of war is life. ----------------------------- Harry Styles/ Emilia Clarke/ Sam Claflin/ Lily James (#1 in WW1)Complete
