Sonet: Homeward
About the book
Love can survive a war. But can it survive what comes after? In Finland, during the dark years of war, a young woman waits for the man she loves. He has gone away. The country is at war. The future is uncertain. Between them lies a world of separation, fear, longing and secrets. Sonet: Homeward is a historical romance set against the turbulent landscape of wartime Finland. It is a story of love and absence, of people trying to hold on to one another when history has made ordinary life impossible. But the past does not stay buried. As the story unfolds, memories, unanswered questions and hidden truths begin to surface. What first appears to be a story of separation becomes something more complicated: a mystery about what happened, what was lost, and what might still be recovered. Set in Finland during one of the most dramatic periods of its history, Sonet: Homeward combines the emotional pull of wartime romance with the atmosphere of historical fiction and a quietly unfolding mystery. For readers who enjoy historical romance, wartime love stories, Nordic settings and emotionally driven mysteries.
