Until We Dance Again

Before the war, Maggie Robson and Tom Bell had the dance floor.

In a warm Newcastle hall, with music in the air and the River Tyne close by, they were young enough to believe that love could carry them through anything. Then war begins to take men away, and Tom is drawn into a conflict that will carry him far from home, through India and Burma, while Maggie is left to build a life out of letters, factory shifts, family duty and waiting.

At Douglas Terrace, love is not simple or soft. It is ration books and crowded rooms. It is a mother trying to keep faith while the world changes around her. It is the sound of aircraft overhead, the strain of wartime work, the ache of a child growing up with a father known mostly through stories and envelopes.

Inspired by family history and wartime memory, Until We Dance Again is a moving wartime Newcastle romance about separation, endurance and the difficult road home. It is not a story of easy reunion. It is about what love becomes when years, silence and survival alter the people who once promised everything.

For readers who enjoy emotional historical fiction, home-front drama, wartime romance and stories of ordinary families living through extraordinary times.
