Perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Diana Gabaldon and Louise Douglas. 
  Praise for Elena Collins: 
  'A profoundly moving, beautifully written and emotional story that skilfully combines two time frames into one unputdownable book. I was completely immersed in Grace’s story from the beginning: despite it taking place 400 years ago. The modern day storyline was also delightful with some wonderful characters. In short a wonderful book by a fabulous author, very highly recommended' Louise Douglas 
  'With two storylines beautifully woven together to create a seamless tale of love, loss, betrayal and, above all, hope, it’s a must-read. Collins’s detailed knowledge of the period trickles through the tale wrapping the reader in a vivid shifting world as it moves between the 14th century and present day. Cleverly researched and exquisitely written, The Lady of The Loch is a timeless story of hope, family and love. I loved it' Alexandra Walsh 
  'Such a lovely story of love, hardship, loss & renewal. Heartbreaking yet comforting. A place where I would love to go to and be lost in its memories' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review

  Trenches Of Despair - The Story...

  "Trenches of Despair" tells the devastating story of the Thompson quadruplets—Billy, John, George, and Thomas—four identical brothers from London's East End who lie about their age to enlist in World War I, transforming from eager volunteers into casualties of the war's brutal machinery. 
  In the summer of 1914, the seventeen-year-old brothers live in a cramped terraced house on Whitmore Street, each with distinct personalities despite their identical appearance. Billy is the natural leader, John the artistic dreamer, George the cheerful entertainer, and Thomas the man of quiet faith. Each has found love—Billy with neighbor Edith Hartwell, John with intellectual Mary Whitfield, George with baker's daughter Florence Meadows, and Thomas with gentle Annie Clarke. 
  When war breaks out, social pressure mounts through the white feather campaign, where women distribute symbols of cowardice to men not in uniform. The brothers face impossible choices between family duty and national service, ultimately enlisting together after being publicly shamed. Their working-class background contrasts sharply with their upper-class officers, highlighting the war's class divisions. 
  After training at Aldershot, they deploy to France in early 1915, experiencing their first taste of trench warfare's horror. The Christmas Truce of 1914 becomes a pivotal moment when they meet German soldiers in No Man's Land, sharing songs, photographs, and discovering their enemies' humanity—making the resumption of killing infinitely more tragic. 
  The brothers survive the early battles, but the war's grinding attrition begins taking its toll. John, the sensitive artist, dies first at the Battle of the Somme in 1916, cut down by a sniper while trying to help wounded comrades. His death devastates the family and his sweetheart Mary, who never recovers from the loss. 
  Thomas, the man of faith, sacrifices himself at Passchendaele in 1917, charging a German machine gun position to save his section.
