November, 1918.

Rachel Cunningham is carrying the child of Royal Flying Corps pilot Harry Jordan when word arrives that his aircraft has been lost over France.

Alone, pregnant and shunned as an unmarried mother, Rachel makes a desperate decision to secure a future for herself and her unborn son—one that shapes the course of her life for the next twenty years.

Then, at a travelling air show, she sees the impossible.

Harry is alive.

The discovery forces Rachel to confront a past she believed had been buried forever. As old wounds reopen and long-hidden truths begin to surface, she must decide whether the past should remain where it belongs—or whether some truths can no longer stay hidden.

Set against the changing landscape of post-war Britain, The Pauper’s Ring is an evocative historical novel of enduring love, impossible choices and the lasting consequences of war. Heartfelt, compelling and deeply human, it explores how a single moment can echo across a lifetime.

Readers of: The English Patient, Birdsong, The Last Letter from Your Lover, The Love Child and When I Come Home Again will find much to enjoy in The Pauper’s Ring.
