Critical Praise

“Continuing with the skill and grace she exhibited in her bestselling debut SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Jennifer Robson returns with mastery once more to the World War I era...Robson does more than personalize the unfathomable; she evokes true beauty by showing the hope and courage in rebuilding lives and the promise of a world born anew. This is a moving and memorable book.”

—Pam Jenoff, author of THE WINTER GUEST

“A glorious journey from grief to celebration. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put this novel down. The story is engaging, memorable and beautifully imagined.”

—Jeanne Mackin, author of THE BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN

“Jennifer Robson captures the devastating toll of war on individuals and a nation as well as the redemptive and triumph powers of love. AFTER THE WAR IS OVER elegantly sweeps back and forth through time as Robson’s beautifully drawn characters grapple with matters of class, freedom and courage. I couldn’t put this book down and now I’ll never forget it.”

—Renee Rosen, author of WHAT THE LADY WANTS

“Robson will lure readers into this emotionally charged novel from the first page.”

—Publishers Weekly

“I loved this book! Jennifer Robson is a gifted, compelling storyteller who creates memorable characters. In this novel she perfectly captures the hopes and fears of a generation in the turbulent times of post-war Britain. I look forward to her next!”

—Hazel Gaynor, New York Times bestselling author of THE GIRL WHO CAME HOME

“Robson captures the atmosphere of post-WWI England beautifully, portraying the changing social and political climate, as well as the rebuilding of the country in the aftermath of the Great War. Calmly and compassionately rendered, realistic and romantic, AFTER THE WAR IS OVER is a wonderful testament to its survivors.”
