Title : When You Weren't There - Laura Bloom - book

Summary :

Summer Hill, a suburb of Sydney, in the 1940s.

For the women who remained at home, the war was also a trial. With no news of her husband, who was mobilized in the Pacific, Catherine was convinced he was dead. Unable to bear the solitude any longer, she finally found comfort with an American soldier. But in February 1946, her husband returned. Haunted by the memory of the fighting, he was no longer the same man. Catherine, for her part, was consumed by guilt. For adultery was not the only one of his secrets.

With this remarkable novel of psychological accuracy, Laura Bloom subtly evokes the intimate dramas caused by war and offers a magnificent portrait of a woman who takes responsibility for her choices against all odds.
