Grace's Private War

Axel I. Carver

Beschreibung

Behind the manor's walls, a mother's love becomes a prison. As war rages outside, a more dangerous battle unfolds within. Some protection is more deadly than the enemy.
 
The fog rolls across Jersey's countryside as Grace Blackwood faces her greatest fear: her husband's conscription to World War II. Within the grand Blackwood manor, she creates a fortress of prayer and strict routine, convinced she can keep her children safe from the world's evils. But as the weeks turn to months, Grace's protective instincts twist into something darker. Her children, Alice and Peter, watch as their mother transforms their once-warm home into a shadowy sanctuary of religious devotion. The manor itself seems to change, its familiar corners harboring new threats, its shadows deepening with each passing day. When Peter begins speaking of a mysterious visitor in the darkness, Grace's obsession reaches new heights. Can she save her children's souls before her own demons consume them all? Grace's Private War is a mesmerizing historical fiction by Axel Carver that delves deep into the human psyche. If you're drawn to haunting atmospheres, psychological complexity, and richly layered historical drama, you'll be spellbound by Carver's masterful tale of faith and madness.
