Description
The Fallen Kings by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles is set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in history. In 1918, Germany launches a devastating assault on France, forcing the British to retreat and confront the possibility of defeat. As the war rages on, the Morland family faces its own personal struggles. Bertie's battalion is battered and bruised, while Jessie must navigate her family's disapproval as she secretly carries his child. Meanwhile, Teddy takes a stand by bringing German POWs to work on the land, unaware of the consequences that will soon strike close to home. The news arrives that Jack has been shot down, leaving the Morlands to rely on love, faith, and compassion to see them through. As the war draws to a close, the Morland family must come together to face the challenges ahead. With its poignant portrayal of love, loss, and resilience, this novel is a powerful exploration of one family's experience during a time of great turmoil.
