About this listen

 From the Sunday Times bestselling author of An Italian Girl in Brooklyn comes a captivating new novel of enduring love and devastating secrets, based on a true story.

'Nobody does epic romance like Santa Montefiore' JOJO MOYES

Rupert promised he was going to come back. All Florence had to do was wait.

Cornwall, 1944
When Rupert Dash is declared missing, presumed dead during the Battle of Arnhem, his wife, Florence, is devastated. She can’t accept that he has gone from her life forever, and so when she finds a poem called ‘Wait for Me’ hidden in an old book, she believes it’s a sign from her husband. A promise that he will return to her.

London, 1988
Since childhood Max has suffered from a recurring nightmare. Surrounded by the horrific chaos of World War Two, he has an urgent mission he knows he must complete. But time after time, the dream ends with him awaking in terror, his heart pounding from the horror of the battlefield. Desperate to understand why he is haunted by such terrible visions, Max embarks on a journey that leads him to Cornwall and a man named Rupert Dash.

Australia, 1995
Florence receives a letter from someone she has never met, who lives on the other side of the world. This stranger says he remembers a life that belonged to another before him. Could this be the one person Florence has waited over fifty years to meet again?

'Based on a true story this gorgeous sweeping romance crossing time and continents is completely captivating as Florence epitomises the enduring power of love' My Weekly©2023 Santa Montefiore (P)2023 Simon & Schuster, UK 20th Century Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Romance Marriage Heartfelt

Critic reviews

"Nobody does epic romance like Santa Montefiore." (Jojo Moyes)

I felt disappointed with this book, it is not like other I have listened to by this author. I had expected so much more but after all the build up the ending was a let down and didn't really fit, as though the author just wanted to get it over with. The female narrator did a good job, but the male narration was quite wooden and flat and didn't seem to flow as well.

Not what I expected

I wasn’t sure about this book at the beginning but I was soon enthralled by it and couldn’t stop listening to it. Beautifully written and narrated the subject something I hadn’t touched on before. I was in tears on several occasions and the poem used was simply beautiful. I’ll definitely be recommending to my friends.

One of the next audiobooks I’ve listened to. The story is excellent as are the characters and the narration is perfect. I can highly recommend this book as a lover of Santa Montefora’s books

Excellent

The story started well and I found the subject intriguing. The narration was good. Unfortunately, for me the last quarter of the story seemed to lose momentum and the conclusion rushed and implausible.

Disappointing

Nothing to dislike fantastic heart moving story line would love Robert and Florence, Max and Robyn’s story to become a film! Didn’t want it to end! Another beautiful book can’t wait for more!

The wonderful characterisation and narration!
