Wake by Anna Hope

Over five November days in 1920 London, the journey of an unknown soldier’s body home frames the intertwined lives of three women—Hettie, a dance-hall hostess supporting her family; Evelyn, a disillusioned War Office clerk; and Ada, a mother haunted by her son’s death—as they grapple with grief, class constraints, and the lingering traumas of the Great War in their search for connection and a way to move forward.
