Kiss Me by Richard Bean

19-25 July

London, 1929. Stephanie is a 32-year-old war widow facing a future without children. The First World War has left thousands of women like her. But her doctor has an unorthodox solution that goes against every expectation of the era: a surrogate father. But when Stephanie and Dennis meet in her bedroom, something shifts as two lost souls collide. Can they escape the guilt and ghosts of the past? Or will the rules they've broken pull them under?

A beautiful and intimate story about longing, survival, and the unexpected places we find connection in the wreckage of history.
