An epic tale of love, heartache, and a sisterhood created by nursing in a time of war, In Falling Snow is one of those novels you will want to read again. If you liked The Aviator's Wife , you will love this book!"--Michelle Moran, bestselling author of Cleopatra's Daughter "This is a story of love, ultimately, and a woman whose life has sought to atone for a mistake she hardly knew she made... At once perceptive and sympathetic, In Falling Snow beguiles, a tale of selflessness and youthful indiscretion as singular and seductive as one could hope for."--Robin Oliveira, New York Times bestselling author of My Name Is Mary Sutter "In Falling Snow is expertly researched and written with a keen eye to the complexities of wartime and the mighty role of women therein.

For readers, like me, who love to see history's forgotten heroes given powerful voice, you will delight in this novel."--Sarah McCoy, author of the international bestseller The Baker's Daughter "At once chilling yet strangely beautiful...

Synopsis
From the author of the international bestseller In Falling Snow. In 1925, a young woman swimmer will defy the odds to swim the English Channel--a chance to make history. London 1925: Fifteen-year-old Catherine Quick longs to feel once more the warm waters of her home, to strike out into the ocean off the Torres Strait Islands in Australia and swim, as she's done since she was a child. But now, orphaned and living with her aunt Louisa in London, Catherine feels that everything she values has been stripped away from her. Louisa, a London surgeon who fought boldly for equality for women, holds strict views on the behavior of her young niece. She wants Catherine to pursue an education, just as she herself did. Catherine is rebellious, and Louisa finds it difficult to block painful memories from her past. It takes the enigmatic American banker Manfred Lear Black to convince Louisa to bring Catherine to New York where Catherine can train to become the first woman to swim the English Channel. And finally, Louisa begins to listen to what her own heart tells her.
