In 1940s Bath, Will Emerson lives at Avon Lodge with the love of his life Elsa. Their happiness is interrupted by an aerial attack by German bomber planes. Will rushes to the back garden go rescue a 6 year old neighbourhood boy who has been trying to reach his daddy in the RAF on Will's radios in his workshop. As he gathers the boy in his arms and runs towards the house, Elsa is telling him to go back, he won't make it to the cellar in time.

Over 60 years later, Laura is hired to become a carer for Will, now in his late 80's. She has to assess whether he is capable of living on his own. He has insisted he was once married to a young Austrian woman called Elsa but there is no record of her ever existing.

Can Laura solve the mystery of Will and Elsa?

Told in two timelines, this story really kept me hooked right the way through. A very entertaining and interesting book.
