What The Ocean Keeps: An intimate, unforgettable love story inspired by true events
The war's over but for Alma and Jack the fight for love and freedom has only just begun
North Wales, 1918
The guns in Europe have fallen silent but for Alma peace brings only hardship. After welcome independence as a munitions' worker, she is trapped by a painful arrangement with Bron, the man who saved her family from destitution. And for Jack, a Canadian soldier who fought for Britain, it means degradation in the overcrowded, feverish repatriation camp where thousands wait for the chance to sail home.
When Alma and Jack meet in the shanty town which serves the camp, their love becomes the one chance of escape. But dreams are fragile. Ships across the Atlantic are delayed time and again, Spanish 'flu spreads and the men - their bravery ignored - are mutinous.
Inspired by the true and largely forgotten events of the Kinmel Park mutiny, What The Ocean Keeps is an emotional, unforgettable love story that weaves a woman's search for freedom with a soldier's struggle to return home as the world reels in the aftermath of World War 1 and the Spanish 'flu pandemic.
