“Shades of
Brief Encounter surround this wonderful, clear-eyed story set in the London blitz. As war devastates the city, love tears a woman’s life apart. The story of Julia, a woman undone by her affair, is both realistic and utterly heart wrenching.”—Jane Thynne, author

“Elizabeth Wilhide writes with a historian's eye and a storyteller's grace. In
If I Could Tell You, she transports readers from pre-war Britain to the Blitz and beyond, showing us how love, lust, and ultimately family can guide the heart even through the most difficult times. I fell in love with this perfectly executed take on the love triangle and the tragic heroine who turns out to be more than she ever imagined.”—Karin Tanabe, author of
