Romance buds in the air in Jennie Marsland's Shattered. The characters are set in the Great War and the setting for the story is Halifax, Nova Scotia. It's a rich story with historical detail and layered with poetic prose.Wounded from the war, Liam Cochrane has returned home not quite whole. While he'd love to find solace in the arms of a willing woman he wants more out of life--a true partner. Finding companionship with a sister's friend wasn't on his agenda but after getting wounded in the war he seizes the opportunity to start something fresh.Shattered weaves a tale of two families--the Cochrane's and O'Neills and it's easy to see how two families facing tough times would come together to make the most of things or stand up for each other. Shattered's rich detail of Halifax will delight any reader.
