Promises to Keep: A Felix Breit novel

In very good condition - ex library - has markings from use - has tears on inside front and back covers - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.

November, 1956. Britain is reeling from the fallout of the Suez crisis; the Hungarian uprising has been brutally quashed; petrol rationing is being introduced. But for the nine young families who live in the Dower House, including concentration camp survivors Felix and Angela Breit, and their four children, life is good. With their ambitious plans for the future, it's easy to forget the horrors of war.

But when a menacing figure from those years turns up, Angela is faced with an impossible dilemma. Should she square up to the challenge of her troubled past, or would it be better to avoid it and nurse the trauma forever? As events unfold, it becomes increasingly clear that both Angela and Felix will have to face the truth of their German heritage if they are to embrace their English future.
