Born between the wars on a working-class street in London, Harry Miles wins a scholarship to an exclusive school and with it a chance to escape his station. Instead he falls in love with poetry, and though his teachers encourage him to attend university, he’s tired of scholarship’s dull routines. He takes an entry-level job and spends his free time among the poetry volumes at Battersea Public Library One afternoon on his way up the stairs, Harry encounters the enigmatic Evelyn Hill. The daughter of an alcoholic layabout, the young woman chafes against the idea of marriage—but during a summer spent wandering the commons and taking in plays with Harry, their relationship begins to bloom in the shadow of the Second World War. Before they know it, Harry is headed into battle and the couple faces the first of many challenges in what will become a lifetime spent together. Drawing on original wartime letters written by the author’s father, Dear Evelyn reckons with the shifting tides of marriage, exploring how two people shape one another over the course of a lifetime. This compelling account that will leave its mark on any reader who has ever loved.

This book was released on 2021-05-03. Dear Evelyn available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. He was seventeen when he entered the Corps. USO dances. Psychiatric hospital. City park. Train station. Hot summer days. Island time. Iwo Jima. His name was Paul. Her name was Evelyn. He did ask her to dance, but there was a problem...he didn't know how. He just knew he wanted to meet her. Later on in the evening, he asked if he could take her home. She was in training to be a nurse, and the only way to escort her to the nurses' quarters was to take her buddy along. They rode the bus. That was the beginning of their courtship... It wasn't long before Paul was boarding a train and then a ship, headed for the war in the Pacific. Evelyn and Paul had just become engaged. Letter-writing started between them. Prolific letter writing. These letters are encased within the pages of this book. You will want to read them...not only for their historical significance, but to see up close and personal what life was like for the young Marine and his nurse-in-training fiancée during World War II. Fascinating...as you become familiar with the relationships that swirl around them, and as you have a front-row seat to their developing love story. The fruits of victory are tumbling into our mouths too quickly. -Emperor Hirohito of Japan, April 29, 1942 "Bloodiest battle" of World War II claimed nearly 7,000 U.S. lives on small, ash-covered island off Japan -Dave Sutor, The Tribune-Democrat Among the Americans who served on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue. -Navy Fleet Adm. Chester Nimitz, March 1945
