"Compelling, emotionally charged". (Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikrly Pilgrimage of Harold Fry). Remembrance Day 1920: A wartime secret connects three women's lives: Hettie, whose brother won't speak; Evelyn, who still grieves for her lost lover; Ada, who has never received an official letter about her sons' death, and still believes he will come home. As the mystery that binds them begins to unravel, far away, in the fields of Northern France, the Unknown Soldier embarks on his journey home. The mood of the nation is turning towards the future - but can these three women ever let go of the past?

Recensione:
"A compelling and emotionally charged debut about the painful aftermath of war and the ways - small, brave or commonplace - that keep us going. It touches feelings we know, and settings - dance halls, war front, queues outside the grocer - that we don't. I loved it." (Rachel Joyce, author of THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY)
"A tender and timely novel, full of compassion and quiet insight. The author gives us a moving and original glimpse into the haunted peace after the Great War, her characters drawn by the gravity of the unmarked, the unknown and perhaps, finally, the unhoped for." (Chris Cleave, author of THE OTHER HAND)
"Wake is powerful and humane; a novel that charms and beguiles. Anna Hope's characters are so real; flawed and searching, and her prose so natural, one almost forgets how very great a story she is telling." (Sadie Jones, author of THE OUTCAST)
"Superb ... beautifully crafted" (Irish Times)
"A moving novel about the aftershock of the 1914-1918 conflict. ... unlikely many will prove better than Anna Hope's Wake" (Sunday Times)
"Absorbing and timely" (Daily Mail)
"Wise and insightful" (Sunday Express)
"A hit, we think!" (Simon Mayo Bookclub)
"Impressive and poignant ... moving and rewarding" (Woman and Home)
"Poignant ... stays long in the memory" (Choice)
