The women meet for the first time just before their journey begins: Katie, an Irish maid from Dorchester, Massachusetts; Minnie, wife of an immigrant Russian Jewish chicken farmer; Bobbie, a wealthy Boston socialite ; Wilhelmina, a former tennis star in precarious mental health; and Cora Blake, a single mother and librarian from coastal Maine. In Paris, Cora meets a journalist whose drug habit helps him hide from his own war-time fate--facial wounds so grievous he's forced to wear a metal mask. This man will change Cora's life in wholly unexpected ways. And when the women finally travel to Verdun to visit the battlegrounds where their sons fought as well as the cemeteries where they are buried, shocking events -a death, a scandal, a secret revealed--will guarantee that Cora's life and those of her traveling companions will become inextricably intertwined, and only now will they be able to emerge from their grief and return home to their loved ones. This is a timeless story set against a footnote of history: little known but unforgettable.."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mothers and sons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Parental grief $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cemeteries $z Verdun $z Verdun $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1919-1933 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a War stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Dunne, Bernadette. 941 $a 3 945 $a cda 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202020206.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012313.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006075610.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B4F979E220911E49404A1B3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IW5Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
