A Promise to Keep [Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

Lilian Harry (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 28, 2005

When Thursday Tilford returns to Haslar Hospital after two years serving as a VAD in Egypt, she finds many changes. With the town packed with troops waiting to leave for the Normandy beaches, and Haslar on standby for the wounded, Thursday's thoughts go to the two men who are vying for her heart—Connor Kirkpatrick, the naval doctor she met at Haslar in 1940, and army doctor Mark Sangster, who travelled on the troopship to Egypt with her. Although she longs to keep her promise to Connor, Thursday's feelings for Mark force her to consider the nature of promises and even, in the end, the nature of love itself.

More About the Author

Hi,I am Lilian Harry and am delighted to welcome you to my Author Central page. I've been writing for a long time now, under the name Donna Baker as well as Lilian Harry, and most of my books are classed as 'historical novels', including those set during the Second World War (which is slightly hurtful, since I remember it....) I grew up near Portsmouth in Hampshire, have lived in Devon, Herefordshire and the Lake District (my favourite place!) and am now back in Devon on the edge of Dartmoor, where I am out every day walking my miniature schnauzer. Apart from writing, I ring bells, take part in amateur dramatics, go to concerts, theatre etc, read and play bridge - but only with very tolerant, forgiving people who like me a lot. (Or on the computer!) I would like to be cloned so that I can do all these things simultaneously.

This review is from: A Promise to Keep (Paperback)

"A Promise to Keep" by Lilian Harry is the follow-up to "A Girl called Thursday" I was really looking forward to this book, but after reading it, I have to say disappointed. It just did not seem up to Ms. Harry's normal standards. I found it hard to keep up when flashbacks happen. The book also seem slow in places and the book lost my interest in places. Fans of War-time settings do enjoy Ms. Harry's books, but you may want to skip "A Promise to Keep"
