I am happy to be featutring Michelle Vernal's novel, The Promise, on the blog today in this Book Spotlight. Released in July 2018, it is a time-slip historical romance, alternating between the 1940's and contemporary times.
Two women from different generations brought together by
another’s wrongdoing.
When British backpacker, Isabel Stark happens across a car
accident on a lonely stretch of road in the South Island of New Zealand her
life changes forever. The sole passenger, Ginny Havelock asks her to make a
promise before she passes away—to find Constance and to say she’s sorry.
Isabel’s a lost soul who’s been drifting through life unsure
of where she fits, and the promise she made in New Zealand haunts her upon her
return to the United Kingdom. Her only clue as to finding Constance lies within
a conversation held at Ginny’s funeral. It takes her to the Isle of Wight.
In the 1940’s sixteen-year-old Constance’s life on her
island is sheltered until the death of her brother; Ted brings the reality of
war crashing down around her. He leaves behind his pregnant young widow Ginny.
When Constance meets a handsome Canadian Airforce man, she’s eager to escape
her grief and be swept up by first love. It’s a love which has ramifications
she could never envisage.
When Isabel and Constance’s paths finally cross will Ginny’s
last words be enough for Constance to make peace with her past? And in
fulfilling her promise will Isabel find a place she can call home?
