Married veterans of WWI are reunited in England and face new challenges in a world altered by continuing warfare and pandemic illness. In a world destroyed by war, can hope survive? Summer 1918: Young couple Amy and Edmond Derwent, after their experiences on the front line of battle—Edmond as an officer and Amy as a VAD in France—have now settled back in England and are starting to build a life as a family, with the arrival of baby Beth bringing them much-needed joy. But while she may have married into the wealthy Derwent family, now living with her in-laws in their grand home, Amy’s modest upbringing means that she is never truly accepted by Edmond’s family. The Great War rages on, and while the men are off fighting, those left at home steel themselves for tragic news, praying that their loved ones return safely. Edmond, still struggling with the effects of the injury he sustained at Ypres, feels the guilt of remaining at home while his friends are sent into battle. But life at Larchbury is not without its own problems – as food becomes scarce, and the Spanish Influenza causes deaths throughout England, tragedy strikes closer to home and it seems no one is safe from heartbreak. Can Amy and Edmond keep their love strong, even in a world crumbling all around them? Until the War is Over is the captivating second book in The Derwent Chronicles series.
