The Past can Wait
About the book
Maggie and Arthur might be the perfect couple. If they’re ever together again. For five years, Maggie has waited patiently for Arthur to return to the city from the remote Australian Alps. He promised that once he had saved enough to buy them a home, they would marry. But when Arthur suggests Maggie abandon her nursing, family and friends to join him there, her patience whirls to a stormy end. In the mountains, a grieving Arthur wants to reach out to Maggie. Then he hears how a charming doctor is pursuing her, offering her the future he has continually postponed. In the city, Maggie takes Arthur's silence as the end of their affair. New lives, new chances offer themselves to both. Can they lay the past to rest—or will their perfect love become no more than a poignant memory?
