Past Encounters by Davina Blake
England 1955.
The day Rhoda Middleton opens a letter from another woman, she
becomes convinced her husband, Peter, is having an affair. But when
Rhoda tracks the mysterious woman down, she discovers she is not Peter’s
lover after all, but the wife of his best friend, Archie Foster. There
is only one problem – Rhoda has never even heard of Archie Foster.
Devastated by this betrayal of trust, Rhoda tries to find out why
Peter has kept this friendship a secret for so long. Her search leads
her back to 1945, but as she gradually uncovers Peter’s wartime
experiences she must wrestle with painful memories of her own. For Rhoda
too cannot escape the ghosts of the past.
Taking us on a journey from the atmospheric filming of Brief
Encounter, to the extraordinary Great March of prisoners of war through
snow-bound Germany, PAST ENCOUNTERS explores themes of friendship, hope,
and how in the end, it is the small things that enable love to survive.
Includes bonus material for reading groups.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
