The House at River's Edge by Rachel Burton

 


This is an incredible story with two timelines telling of love in WWI and the secrets that love created for a family. The WWI story covers that of a young girl falling for a poet and of the relationship of her brother and their friend. The story of them is compelling and lovely. The war interrupts both relationships and begins a timeline of deeply held family secrets.

In the second timeline, the family of the men begins to unravel when a pre-WWI trunk is discovered in the basement. The daughter of one of the family women is a historical researcher on WWI poets and she begins to research the family’s past with surprising information.
