Description
From this day forward – when Evie uttered those words, they were about day-to-day survival in the midst of a world war. How could she have envisaged the future that lay ahead with her Kiwi soldier in the rural Bay of Plenty after the war? A future of triumph and tragedy, heaven and hell – and hiraeth for her Welsh homeland that would last as long as she lived.
The sequel to War Bride, this riveting novel is now available, and can also be purchased as an ebook.
Reviews for After the War:
“Patricia Fenton’s After the War tells more of the story of Frank Weston, a New Zealand soldier stationed in Britain during WW2, and Evie, the war bride he brings home to a struggling New Zealand farm. Fenton’s evocation of life immediately after the war and into the 1950’s and 60’s is one of the stand-out achievements of the novel. Times are tough, but both Evie and Frank are hard workers. The story carries you along as their fortunes gradually improve and they make a life together, despite his unwelcoming family. Many readers will recognise these people and their world, as I did. I heartily recommend this authentic personal and historical story. ”
