BETHAN'S DAUGHTER (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

You would want to know how a story ends...wouldn't you? David Sanderson has made his money as a dealer in the City of London. The purchase of Lane’s End at auction is thought to be only the beginning of a new life in the country. Set in Suffolk, he has the time and money to renovate the run-down mansion as he adjusts to being alone once more. But, before the builders even start on the project, he discovers a wicker basket cleverly concealed in the attic. It contains an item of jewellery and letters written towards the end of World War II. They tell of loss, not only of a husband but also of an American lover, a pilot in the USAAF who was stationed nearby. Bethan Watts wrote them, but she returned to London after the deaths of the men in her life as the war draws to a close. David is not prepared for the revelations in Bethan’s letters; she bore and gave birth to a daughter by her American lover, a child who died shortly after birth. Sarah lies in the ice-house and has remained there, undisturbed, for over sixty years. David’s search for Bethan provides him with an insight into her life and inspires him to reconsider his own.
