I’m delighted to be one of today’s stops on the blog tour for ‘The Officer’s Wife.’
1939 – American heiress Vivi Miles falls for naval officer Nathan as soon as she arrives in England. And, under the threat of war, they marry in a whirlwind before he leaves to join his ship.
When Nathan returns from Dunkirk injured, he is distant, aloof, and no longer the man Vivi fell in love with. But it’s not just because of his brutal experiences of war. Nathan has a secret and Vivi suspects it’s linked to the mysterious evacuee at the secluded house in the woods on his Kent estate.
As war continues to rage, Vivi battles her own grief and loneliness, and tries to find out the truth of the girl’s identity, uncovering a scandal from the past.
Is her love for Nathan strong enough to survive?

Review-
This is an epic tale that cannot fail to pull at your heart strings!
Recounted across three ‘books’, spanning different periods of time, ‘The Officer’s Wife’ is not only a story of war and the heartache it can bring, but also a tale of resilience and the sheer determination of one woman to succeed against all odds.
The character of Vivi is portrayed exceptionally and the author should be commended for the way in which she allows her character to develop and triumph in the face of seemingly constant adversity.
It’s difficult not to have mixed feelings about Nathan, given the horrors he has endured as part of the war effort but also his duplicity in the treatment of his wife once he is discharged from active duty.
The dynamics between the varying characters and the interwoven historical detail, alongside elements of class attitudes, lends a real authenticity to the plot, and leaves you rooting for Vivi to find peace.
A must-read for all fans of historical fiction and romance!
