Suffolk, 1944. American pilot Charlie’s second tour is about to draw to a close, but his heart is forever changed when he meets Kitty, a local girl with dreams of joining the Women’s Land Army. As love blooms, the pair are all too aware that every perilous mission Charlie flies may well be his last…

Suffolk, 2011. When Kitty’s granddaughter and ambitious tearoom owner Amy meets American tourist and photographer Jack, she agrees to show him around in exchange for his photographic talents. The deal quickly grows into an unexpected bond – but when long-buried secrets emerge, neither of their worlds will ever be the same again…

The Lost Memories is a heartwarming, multi-generational love story, perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Lucinda Riley and Kate Morton.

Although the plot is a little predictable I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. The dual timeline and characters were great and I really wanted to know what happened to them all next. I think the narration definitely brought the story to life. Would definitely recommend.

Loved it!

This book wrote about what must have happened to many people during WWII I feel. Well written and the storyline kept up my interest throughout the book. It is a feel-good novel, not over-complicated. An enjoyable light read.

Poignant storyline

I could not put this down. What incredible interwoven stories, so sympathetically bringing the past to life and delicately educating the reader on what true life and loss in the war was like. A truly magical book and the best I have listened to in a long time.
I am making my way consecutively through Lorna’s books and cannot recommend her highly enough, she has such a gift. Thank you Lorna and please don’t stop! ❤️🙏🏻
