About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Afghanistan, 2007. Carl meets Sarah, a nurse, at Camp Bastion and they feel an instant connection. But she’s the girlfriend of his fellow soldier, Danny, so he pledges to keep his distance.

Finally back in England, Carl vows to never forget those who didn't make it home, honouring each of them with a tattoo of a poppy. While many miles away, Sarah tries to forget the man she swore to leave behind.

But when Carl and Sarah are thrown back together, it’s clear that both of them are broken. But do the scars of what they went through run too deep, or is there a chance they can find happiness again, together . . .

This woman can really write. It's a beautifully written love story set against the background of military service in Afghanistan and life immediately afterwards. Good to see a novel set against a military background where the protagonists are not stereotyped as either brutes or victims, nicely done.

Nicely done
