Everything will change, my love, she whispers to her only baby. I will make sure you are protected, looked after, loved. I cannot let history repeat itself. She commits his smell, the feel of him to memory, the perfect, anchoring weight of him in her arms. Kissing him one last time, she lets him go. And with him go the pieces of her shattered heart. London, 1939. Orphan Clara Knight is haunted by childhood memories of her house being bombed and fire raining from the sky - she was miraculously pulled from the rubble, finding herself all alone. Determined to make a difference with her life, she has found solace in nursing and helping others. When the storm clouds of war return and a tragically injured soldier arrives at the hospital, Clara is instantly drawn to him and the stories he shares. Anand Goel, with his warm, dark eyes and kind smile, feels like the home she has been searching for. When Clara falls pregnant, the growing life inside her is a glimmer of hope: she will finally have a family of her own again. But when Anand reveals a shocking secret, Clara's little family falls apart, and she is left alone with her baby in a city she no longer recognises. London in the Blitz is a dangerous place. When Clara is offered the chance to give her son a better life, she knows she should take it, but it will mean sending him far away. She knows better than anyone how hard it is to grow up without a mother's love, but if he could be safe, and happy, isn't it a risk worth taking? To save her son, can Clara make the impossible choice to let him go? And will she ever find him again in this war-torn world on fire? An unforgettable and heart-breaking novel about the powerful bond between a mother and her child and a betrayal that echoes across generations. Anyone who loves Orphan Train, Before We Were Yours and Shirley Dickson will find The War Child impossible to put down. Readers absolutely love Renita D'Silva! ¿¿¿¿¿ 'OMG...
