Lesley Pearse | You'll Never See Me Again
You’ll Never See Me Again by Lesley Pearse is a gripping historical novel about a woman who seizes an extraordinary opportunity to leave her old identity behind. Young Betty Wellows dreams of an ordinary life in the coastal village of Hallsands with her fisherman husband, but when he returns from the Great War broken and haunted by his experiences, her hopes begin to collapse. Tormented by his distraught mother and desperate to escape, Betty sees her chance when a devastating storm strikes the village.
Fleeing to Bristol and reinventing herself as Mabel Brook, she sets out to build a new future. Penniless and alone, Mabel suffers a brutal attack before being rescued by psychic Nora Nightingale, whose extraordinary world introduces her to the possibility that she possesses a similar gift. Yet the further Mabel travels from her former life, the harder its secrets become to escape. Eventually, a message forces her back towards the place she fled – and towards heartbreak, danger and perhaps even murder. Rich in period atmosphere and suspense, You’ll Never See Me Again is an absorbing story of survival, identity and one woman's determination to control her own destiny.
