In the summer of 1918, a sniper’s bullet ends Thomas’s war and brings him home to Mary, but it is not quite the reprieve either of them imagined. Mary’s happy, joking husband has become a sullen, uncommunicative stranger and she is afraid the man she remembers is gone forever. The world Thomas dreamed of and fought for has moved on without him and, as he struggles with the horrific memories that plague his dreams, he focuses his anger on their annoying widowed neighbour.
Thomas wasn’t the only thing to come back to Southampton on the hospital ship. An invisible enemy stalks the wards of Netley Hospital, a strange flu that soon escapes into the town.
Will Thomas and Mary ever come to terms with the changes the war has brought? Moreover, will the secrets he unearths tear them apart, or will the mysterious plague snatch away their future before they can be revealed?”
