TO SAVE HER SISTER...SHE MUST REWRITE THE PAST.

London 1940: Sandbags line London’s streets, but for Beatrice Bone, WWII feels distant and dull. It doesn’t help that she’s stuck at home while her younger sister Clemmie is away doing secret war work at a mysterious place called The Park.

Everything changes when Clemmie is killed in a fire. Plunged into grief, Beatrice treasures her sister’s last gift: an antique pocket watch, inscribed with the words memento mori: remember death. She soon realizes the watch is more than a memento when it transports her back in time, giving her the chance to save Clemmie. But changing the past causes a ripple effect, and Beatrice is faced with a devastating choice: her sister’s life, or her country’s future?

London, 1915: While her husband is off fighting in the Great War, Alice is breaking new ground as she treats wounded soldiers at Endell Street Hospital, London’s first medical center staffed entirely by female doctors. But the horrors she witnesses awaken long-buried memories of her mother's death—along with strange visions she has spent years trying to forget. Visions which now seem to afflict her eldest daughter, Beatrice . . .

In her most ambitious and emotionally resonant novel yet, Emilia Hart once again conjures the power of female resilience and the ability of love to transcend time.
