Contrition

About the book

The story

Four women. One war. No forgiveness. From Boston and Milwaukee to occupied Warsaw, Contrition follows Felecia Huxtable, Ruth Jones, Tina Lyashenko and Dr. Helena Bohaterka as the Second World War reshapes the lives they are trying to build. Moving from Pearl Harbor to the Warsaw Uprising, Denis Linehan’s panoramic novel explores love, ruin, redemption and the courage measured by the lives people refuse to abandon.
