Can promises be kept?</p><p>When war is declared in August 1914, Bill, is plucking up his courage to ask his sweetheart, Florrie, to marry him. Bill and Florries dreams are dashed when Bill is sent to fight in Gallipoli, Egypt, and Palestine taking with him a horse, Copper, volunteered for service by the 7th Dukes young daughter, Lady Alice. Bill makes promises before he leaves: to marry Florrie if he survives and to bring his beloved warhorse home safe to Lady Alice.<br />While Bill fights Turks and Germans in appalling conditions, Florrie fights her own war with rationing, poverty, the loss of her menfolk, and her fathers drunken temper. As WW1 proceeds, fearful and with her resilience faltering, her feelings of self-worth plummet, and she turns to her dandelion clocks for reassurance. He lives? He lives not? He loves me? He loves me not?<br />When Bill returns to England six months after the armistice in November 1918, both he and Florrie have been changed by their personal journeys. Has their love survived their wartime romances, spending five years apart, and the tragedies theyve endured? Can Bill keep his promises to Florrie and Lady Alice?</p><p>An insight into the military history of the 1914 1918 war as fought by the Royal Buckinghamshire Hussars and the Queens Own Worcestershire Yeomanry - some of the PALS brigades. At first thought, not real soldiers by the regular army, the Royal Bucks and the Worcester Yeomanry fought with great courage and suffered huge losses. In fact, the Worcesters sustained more losses than any brigade in any war, and the PALS earnt the respect of all those who fought with them. Although Military Fiction, it is a story inspired by real people and based on real events that doesnt forget the role of strong women in the Great War or their need for a wartime romance - love where they could find it.</p><p><em>Bryn is, without doubt, one of the best writers of historical fiction writing in English today. In The Dandelion Clock you will not just read about the horrors of war, you will live them in all their stark reality</em>. - <strong>Frank Parker, author of Called to Account</strong></p><p><em>She truly captured what it was like to be a soldier but also what it was like for loved ones left at home. It is a story of courage, of duty, of heartbreak and of promises made, not to be broken, no matter what the emotional cost. This book had me in tears, in parts, the writing so compelling. It deserves to be read. I strongly recommend</em>. - <strong>Amazon</strong></p><p><em>Towards the end of the novel, Bill turns to the last remaining of his comrades and reflects on the experiences of the past four years. "Best not to dwell on it," he says. "Itll send you mad." Rebecca Bryn has been brave enough to dwell on it, and to offer us the opportunity to immerse ourselves for a while on the shameful, pointless sin of war as Bill describes it. Some books are good. This one is great. The authors best to date. Totally compelling and unmissable</em>. - <strong>GoodreadsConnection Magazine Readers Choice Award winner 2017</strong></p>...1230006428334_Rebecca Brynlibro_electonico_9a2a32cc-ca8e-3cff-9c34-d0d658171dc2_1230006428334;1230006428334_1230006428334Rebecca BrynInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/c4ea9f02-a02e-4422-9160-5e298abb9cfa-epub-fdeaf536-8d3a-4014-98b7-1a2f84b6afa9.epub2018-09-05T00:00:00+00:00Rebecca Bryn
