![]() Perhaps shell shock? We didn’t find out who Evelyn had lost until later. Ada had lost her son, and Hettie had lost her brother, not by death but he came back different. The other two character were open about their loss. She was very secretive and bitter, yet I wasn’t sure why. However it was Evelyn who really captured my attention. I found all three women likeable and interesting characters. This is a lovely novel which shows how many people suffered during the war, even those who were not at the front line. He has a story which will bind these women’s lives unknowingly and which will mend their hearts. One day a young man knocks on Ada’s door and says the name which has haunted her. All these women have lost someone during the war, be it a son, a brother or a lover. Hettie, who dances at the Hammersmith Palais Evelyn, who works at the pensions office, and Ada – a housewife – who has visions of her dead son. Wake tells the story of three different women after World War One. ![]() I received this free from the publisher via NetGalley ![]()
