Blog Tour Spotlight: Annie's Day by Apple Gidley


Available from Amazon UK and Amazon US

War took everything. Love never had a chance. Until now.

As an Australian Army nurse, Annie endures the brutalities of World War II in Singapore and New Guinea. Later, seeking a change, she accepts a job with a British diplomatic family in Berlin, only to find herself caught up in the upheaval of the Blockade.

Through it all, and despite the support of friends, the death of a man she barely knew leaves a wound that refuses to heal, threatening her to a life without love.

Years later, Annie is still haunted by what she’d lost—and what might have been. Her days are quiet, but her memories are loud. When a dying man’s fear forces her to confront her own doubts, she forms an unexpected friendship that rekindles something she thought she’d lost: hope.

Annie’s Day is a powerful story of love, war, and the quiet courage to start again—even when it seems far too late.

Praise for Annie’s Day:


"Moving and enlightening..." ~ Deborah Swift, bestselling author

"This is a story of courage and love, and it lingers long after you turn the last page." ~ Caroline James, author, 5* Goodreads review
