Description
As Best We Can by Tessa West is a poignant novel that explores the lives of the Bailey family during wartime. When Conrad and Lawrence join the colours, their parents and younger sister Elly are left to cope with the changing world around them. Life becomes increasingly complicated as Hattie works at Ampton Military Hospital and Eric escorts wounded soldiers home. Meanwhile, Elly struggles to make sense of the news she reads in the local press, all while managing her own health issues. As the conflict rages on, the family must come to terms with their new reality. In the end, peace brings hope for a brighter future, but also presents new challenges that the family must face together.
