Two brothers. One woman. A nation at war. An emotional and compelling story of war, brotherly love, romance and betrayal during World War One. Vast in scope and intimate in the portrayal of three lives swept along by circumstances, 'This Time Tomorrow' moves from the drawing rooms of Edwardian London to the trenches of the Western Front and to the uncertainty of post-war Britain. 1915. When Guy Searight volunteers to fight with the British army in the early days of World War One, he leaves behind his girlfriend, Mary.
While away fighting, Guy's younger brother, Jack, seizes an opportunity to woo Mary for himself. Forthright and self assured, Guy has always looked out for his confident but frail brother and blithely promises his fretting mother that he'll look out for him when Jack's turn comes to join up. But embittered by Jack's betrayal, Guy vows that when Jack has to face the horrors of war for himself, he won't be there to look after him. When the brothers are reunited in the trenches of the Western Front, their thoughts are both with Mary.
As Jack buckles under the strain of war, can Guy sustain his anger and allow his brother to suffer alone? A shocking event, catastrophic in its intensity and barbaric in its conclusion, forces Guy to re-evaluate his relationship with his brother, with Mary and ultimately himself. 'This Time Tomorrow: World War One Historical Fiction' is a tale of love, loss and longing. 'The Searight Saga' Part Two, The Unforgiving Sea.'The Searight Saga' Part Three, The Red Oak."A tale of love, loyalty, and conflict of a scope few writers could realize but all readers will enjoy.""Heart-stopping historical fiction, " Kathryn Atwood, author."A thoroughly enjoyable but sad story.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de R.P.G. Colley

Rupert Colley was born one Christmas Day, which means, as a child, he lost out on presents. Nonetheless, looking back on it, he lived a childhood with a "silver spoon in my mouth" - brought up in a rambling manor house in the beautiful Devon countryside. It's been downhill ever since. He was a librarian for a long time, a noble profession. Then he started a series called History In An Hour, "history for busy people", which he sold to HarperCollins UK. Rupert now lives in London with his wife, two children and dog (a fluffy cockapoo) and writes historical fiction, mainly 20th century war and misery. You can get 'This Time Tomorrow', set in World War One, for FREE by signing up for Rupert's mailing list at:https://www.instafreebie.com/free/qUaX5.
