In 1940, an unlikely friendship bridges the Atlantic. Twenty-year-old Grace Fitzgerald lives in the seemingly peaceful Irish village of Knocknashee, exchanging letters with Richard Lewis, an American war correspondent stationed in London, as World War II engulfs Europe.
From their distinct vantage points, Grace and Richard bear witness to a world in turmoil. In Knocknashee, where the conflict is carefully termed "the Emergency," the tight-knit community's unease grows as Ireland's proclaimed neutrality reveals dangerous cracks. Grace soon discovers that threats lurk not just beyond the nation's borders, but within them, forcing her to confront a devastating choice.
Meanwhile in bomb-scarred London, Richard's dispatches to American readers capture both the brutal reality of war and the indomitable spirit of Londoners. His journalistic instincts lead him deep into a network of resistance and courage, where he finds himself challenging humanity's darkest regime.
History's Pages, the compelling third book of the Knocknashee Story, weaves a tale of friendship tested by personal choices and the relentless tide of war. Perfect for readers who loved "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" and "The Nightingale," this novel explores how ordinary people rise to extraordinary circumstances, and how the deepest bonds transcend all boundaries.
