Meet Me in Bombay - Jenny Ashcroft

. .

Résumé :

Jenny Ashcroft's Meet Me in Bombay is a powerful, poignant and deeply emotional tale of love, mystery, loss and joy.-Kate Furnivall, New York Times bestselling author.

All he needs is to find her. First, he must remember who she is.

It's New Year's Eve in Bombay, 1913, and Madeline Bright, new to the sweltering heat of colonial India, is yearning for all she has left behind in England. Then, at the stroke of midnight, Maddy meets Luke Devereaux, and as the year changes so do both their lives.

Bold and charismatic, Luke opens her eyes to the wonders of Bombay, while Maddy's beauty and vivacity captures his heart. Only her mother disapproves, preferring the devoted Guy Bowen as a match for her daughter.

But while Maddy and Luke are falling in love, the world is falling apart. World War I is on the horizon, and Luke will be given no choice but to fight. They will be continents apart, separated by danger and devastating loss, but bound by Luke's promise that they will meet again in Bombay.
