A Forbidden Love: Book Two: Thomas' Tale Kindle Edition

In the shadow of Langley Hall, young Thomas Cooper navigates the complexities of friendship, duty and love in Edwardian England. As the son of a tenant farmer, Thomas forms an unlikely bond with Lord John Langley and Prince Christian, two boys from vastly different worlds. Their shared adventures and deepening connections are tested by the rigid boundaries of class and the looming threat of war in the summer of 1914.When tragedy strikes, Thomas is thrust into a role that demands unwavering loyalty and discretion. As he rises through the ranks of service, he must confront his own desires and the painful secrets that haunt him. “Thomas’ Tale”, the second book in the “A Forbidden Love” series, is a poignant exploration of love, loss and the enduring power of friendship in the face of society’s constraints.Spanning seven decades of British history, Thomas' story chronicles his life from the fields of Norfolk, the trenches of northern France in 1917, the times of change and decline at Langley Hall, service again in WW2, and a post-war life that includes a liberating road trip across the United States, and also reflects the many changes in social attitudes towards the LBGTQ+ communities.
