The Storms of War

In the first of three novels by New York Times best-selling author Kate Williams, the privileged de Witt family navigates life in Britain just before the onset of World War I. Set against a backdrop of idyllic summer 1914, the family is brought together by wedding plans and academic pursuits, but as war breaks out, their secure existence is upended. Young Celia, longing for adventure, lies about her age to join the war effort, entangling herself in a perilous plot that threatens her loved ones. With rich detail and deep empathy, Williams explores themes of loss and resilience as the de Witts face the transformative impact of war.
