Everyone Brave is Forgiven

Everyone Brave is Forgiven

The instant New York Times bestseller from Chris Cleaveâ€”the unforgettable novel about three lives entangled during World War II, told â€œwith dazzling prose, sharp English wit, and compassionâ€¦a powerful portrait of warâ€™s effects on those who fight and those left behindâ€ (People, Book of the Week).

London, 1939. The day war is declared, Mary North leaves finishing school unfinished, goes straight to the War Office, and signs up. Tom Shaw decides to ignore the warâ€”until he learns his roommate Alistair Heath has unexpectedly enlisted. Then the conflict can no longer be avoided. Young, bright, and brave, Mary is certain sheâ€™d be a marvelous spy. When she isâ€”bewilderinglyâ€”made a teacher, she finds herself defying prejudice to protect the children her country would rather forget. Tom, meanwhile, finds that he will do anything for Mary.

And when Mary and Alistair meet, it is love, as well as war, that will test them in ways they could not have imagined, entangling three lives in violence and passion, friendship and deception, inexorably shaping their hopes and dreams.

Set in London during the years of 1939â€“1942, when citizens had slim hope of survival, much less victory; and on the strategic island of Malta, which was daily devastated by the Axis barrage, Everyone Brave is Forgiven features little-known history and a perfect wartime love story inspired by the real-life love letters between Chris Cleaveâ€™s grandparents. This dazzling novel dares us to understand that, against the great theater of world events, it is the intimate losses, the small battles, the daily human triumphs that change us most.
