James Falconer returns in the third House of Falconer historical novel from multi-million copy bestseller Barbara Taylor Bradford.
The Somme, 1916. James Falconer, once a barrow boy on a London market, stands in the trenches, awaiting the command to go over the top. Away from his business empire in London, he is simply a soldier, war the great leveller.
But, unlike his men, and unknown to them, deep down, Falconer doesn’t care if he lives or dies.
When a face from the past offers James the chance to repair his fractured relationship with his estranged daughter, Leonie, he must decide if he can hold different things dear – and make space in his life for love.
But the war has left terrible scars, both personal and professional, and swept huge changes through the glittering world he once inhabited. James must weather myriad storms as he attempts to right past wrongs and build a new life.
'Bradford’s tale is enriched by dynamic characters, especially James, who heroically persists in his effort to rebuild his life. It’s a satisfying culmination to a richly drawn historical series' Publishers Weekly
In this classic saga, Bradford, the Sunday Times bestselling author, weaves a tale of romance and family in the 20th century. The fiction is a testament to the resilience of love amidst the trials of marriage and divorce.
