Read Remembrance Day Storyline:

Lest we forget…A poignant new tale from the English Maeve Binchy.It's
2003 and at over 100 years old, Selma Dixon is the last link to the
hidden truth behind her village's refusal to honour its war dead.1914
saw the Yorkshire village of West Sharland send its men off to fight,
including Selma's brothers and her sweetheart Guy. But when Guy is badly
wounded and returns home on leave, the horrific reality of war is fully
realised in the village. By none more so than Guy's mother, who, in a
fit of protective madness, secretly sends Angus, Guy's identical twin
brother who was medically unfit to enlist, back to fight in his place.
Horrified, Guy tries to reveal the truth about his identity.Back in
France, reckless and naïve Angus is bitterly unprepared for war, and
when his actions seal not only his fate but that of Selma's brother,
whose name becomes tainted in the village, Selma’s life is changed
forever.Forced to start a new life in America, Selma is oblivious to why
her family’s name is mud back at home. Until the past comes back to
haunt her and the names of the dead must be spoken once more…
