Description

A sweeping, emotionally rich novel about love, loss, and the secrets that echo across generations.

For decades, Essie and Lizzie have been bound by a truth they must keep hidden. What happened in the years after the war shaped both their lives - one shadowed by guilt, the other by grief - and the fragile peace between them depends on silence.

But secrets have a way of rising to the surface.

After almost seven years away from London, Alice returns for a rare visit to her parents' home - only to find Archie, the boy she once loved, back in her life. And with him, the past she thought she'd left behind.

As old feelings reignite, so too do long-buried questions.

Because Alice and Archie's love is not just complicated - it is dangerous. And as they are drawn back to one another, the truth their mothers have spent a lifetime protecting begins to unravel.

Spanning post-war London, the Swinging Sixties, and culminating in the long, hot summer of 1976, However Far We Fall is a powerful story of forbidden love, family loyalty, and the cost of keeping secrets.

Perfect for readers of multi-generational historical fiction filled with emotion, atmosphere, and unforgettable characters.
