Caroline Bath

4.9/5 (23766 ratings)

Description:One evening, in December 1931, nine-year-old Eva waits at the window for her father, Arthur, to return from work. Little does she know that this will be the beginning of a decade-long-vigil – or that her mother and sister hold the secret to his absence.Twenty years earlier, a younger Arthur is haunted by his family’s emigration to Canada. Seeking a secure future, he marries in haste, only for conscription to tear him away from his new family. Later, after the war, he faces a new battle; against the pressures of work, society and respectability.Finally, in 1941, on the verge of adulthood, Eva must face up to her family's complex legacy and seek the truth behind her father’s disappearance. Her coming-of-age quest is set against the backdrop of another war, in a blitz-ravaged London, and the chance for a marriage of her own – or to break the cycle and choose a different path.Based on a true story, The Life We Make is a tale that spans three decades and two generations. Filled with vivid period detail, complex characters and ever-evolving relationships, it is, at heart, a thoughtful examination of the misunderstandings that can drive a family apart – and the love that may, eventually, pull it back together.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
