Summary

The War Child is an unforgettable and haunting story about love, secrets and betrayal set during humanity’s darkest hour.

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. 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.

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. 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?
