Somewhere in France

Somewhere in France

Author(s): Jennifer Robson

Location(s): France

Genre(s): Fiction, Historical

Era(s): WW1

Lady Elizabeth Neville-Ashford wants to
travel the world, pursue a career, and marry for love. But in 1914, the
stifling restrictions of aristocratic British society and her mother’s
rigid expectations forbid Lily from following her heart. When war breaks
out, the spirited young woman seizes her chance for independence.
Defying her parents, she moves to London and eventually becomes an
ambulance driver in the newly formed Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps–an
exciting and treacherous job that takes her close to the Western Front.

Assigned
to a field hospital in France, Lily is reunited with Robert Fraser, her
dear brother Edward’s best friend. The handsome Scottish surgeon has
always encouraged Lily’s dreams. She doesn’t care that Robbie grew up in
poverty–she yearns for their friendly affection to become something
more. Lily is the most beautiful–and forbidden–woman Robbie has ever
known. Fearful for her life, he’s determined to keep her safe, even if
it means breaking her heart.

In a world divided by class,
filled with uncertainty and death, can their hope for love survive. . .
or will it become another casualty of this tragic war?
