Promise of love and loss amidst war.

"The Kissing Gates" would be a great read for someone who enjoys historical fiction with a touch of romance. The book's depiction of the Christmas ceasefire of 1914 is a unique and distinct feature that sets it apart from other historical novels. The author's portrayal of the characters' struggles with love and loss amidst the chaos of war makes for an emotionally engaging read. Reviews of the book have praised Ford's ability to capture the atmosphere of the time period through her vivid descriptions.

Description

When English soldier Hal strikes up a conversation with German Lieutenant
Wilhelm during the ceasefire in no-man's-land on Christmas Day 1914, he has
no idea the impact this chance meeting will have. Wilhelm is in love with
an English woman, Sam, and presses a photograph into Hal's hand - if he
makes it home, Hal must promise to find Sam and give her this token of
affection. Hal does make it home, though the war rages on - but the moment
he sees Sam he is in trouble. With Wilhelm's shadow looming over their
relationship, and his photograph never revealed, Hal begins to live a life
that was meant for someone else ...
