Broken Faces by Deborah Carr
Four years. Four lives changed forever.
‘As the weight of the plaster of Paris slowly increased
on his face, he tried to steady his breathing and not give in to
claustrophobia.’
November 1914
When Freddie Chevalier’s best friend, Charles, joins the
cavalry and sets off to fight in the Great War he can’t help feeling he’s
missing out. Until the war Freddie enjoyed his bucolic existence working on his
parent’s farm on the island of Jersey, but now he yearns for excitement.
He’s always harboured a secret passion for Charles’
fiancée, Meri. She’s 'The Girl'. The one he loves but can’t have. Nothing
compares to the guilt he feels when he and Meri betray Charles in the worst
possible way.
Each will discover that they don't know the others as
well as they thought. All of them will be forced to take charge of their lives
and find ways to live with the consequences of the choices that they and their
friends have made. And by November 1918 everything they thought of as familiar
will have vanished.
