From the New York Times bestselling author of We Must Be Brave comes a new sweeping historical novel about one couple’s journey through war, love, and loss, and how the people we love never really leave us. 1942, Alexandria, Egypt. Covered in dust, Yvette and James hold hands for the first time as bombs explode above them. As the war rages on, they will find their way back to each other time and again, their love a beacon for their survival. After the war, their happiness takes root in England and blossoms, until a tragic event drives a wedge between them. The way back to one another is uncharted territory that both must be brave enough to face. 1974. Ten years after his wife’s death and with his son now at university, James craves change. He moves to the beautiful English village of Upton not thirty minutes from the city where he brought his bride Yvette, nearly twenty-five years ago. There he discovers a scarf that lights the dark edges of his memory. Could it be Yvette’s? As James makes a new home for himself and gently presses into the feelings the scarf evokes, he begins to unlock new revelations about his past that change everything he believes. Revelations that just might give James a new reason to live and the possibility of new love at last, after ten years alone. Captivating and inspiring, Think of Me explores the power of love to echo across the years.

I loved this book, set in two different timelines Egypt 1942 and England 1974. It's about James meeting Yvette an Egyptian women they marry and eventually move to the UK. Then about how James is still grieving about Yvette who died ten years earlier. It has romance, secrets, family relationships.

This is not your typical WWII historical fiction novel. While it does cover some of the war experiences of the main characters, it is mostly set in 1974 and 1964 (though the journals of one of the characters). Instead it is a story of grief, love, a crisis of faith, and the long lasting effects of the war. It's rural British setting was definitely part of its charm. I loved the characters and really enjoyed it. 4.5/5 stars
