For this week's Can't Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, I'm featuring, Yesterday's Paper by Jean Grainger. I have not read anything by this author but this is the second book in what looks like an interesting historical drama. It is set in Ireland and the United States on the eve of World War II.
As the world teeters on the brink of war in 1937, two people separated by an ocean are about to discover a connection that defies logic and time.
Eighteen-year-old Grace Fitzgerald, a fiery-haired dreamer, longs to escape the confines of life in her windswept Dingle fishing village. Across the Atlantic, Richard Lewis, heir to a Savannah banking fortune, suffocates under the weight of expectations that feel more like a cage than a crown.
When their worlds collide through a twist of fate, Grace and Richard uncover a bond so profound it shakes the very foundations of their existence. As Europe inches towards chaos, they find themselves caught in a whirlwind of discovery, challenging everything they thought they knew about themselves and each other.
From the rugged Irish coastline to the genteel streets of Georgia, 'Lilac Ink' weaves a tapestry of connection, friendship and learning against the ominous backdrop of impending global conflict. Grace and Richard must navigate not only their impossible bond but also the turbulent waters of family expectations, social norms, and their own conflicting desires.
This emotional journey through time and place will leave you questioning the idea of fate and the extraordinary power of human connection. In a world being torn apart, can two young people find a way to be true to themselves and to each other?"
