Two brothers. One woman. A nation at war. A compelling story of war, brotherly love, romance and betrayal during World War One. Vast in scope and intimate in the portrayal of three lives swept along by circumstances, 'This Time Tomorrow' moves from the drawing rooms of Edwardian London to the trenches of the Western Front and to the uncertainty of post-war Britain. When Guy Searight volunteers to fight in the early days of World War One, he leaves behind his girlfriend, Mary. While away fighting, Guy's younger brother, Jack, seizes an opportunity to woo Mary for himself. Forthright and self assured, Guy has always looked out for his confident but frail brother and blithely promises his fretting mother that he'll look out for him when Jack's turn comes to join up. But embittered by Jack's betrayal, Guy vows that when Jack has to face the horrors of war for himself, he won't be there to look after him. When the brothers are reunited in the trenches of the Western Front, their thoughts are both with Mary. As Jack buckles under the strain of war, can Guy sustain his anger and allow his brother to suffer alone?A shocking event, catastrophic in its intensity and barbaric in its conclusion, forces Guy to re-evaluate his relationship with his brother, with Mary and ultimately himself. This Time Tomorrow: a World War One novel is a tale of love, loss and longing.… (mais)

This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
Set in the early 20th century during WWI this story has the grit and horror of war juxtaposed with the story of two brothers that fall in love with the same woman. It was interesting to read how many young men were actually shot by the British army due to “desertion-cowardice” and for that reason alone this book holds merit. There was nothing that was new in this story but it was well written and entertaining and that is how I decided to give it a star value of three.

I received this book through a Library Thing giveaway. ( )

This Time Tomorrow was a decent historical book. I would have preferred more character development. The characters seemed flimsy without much depth, and I never connected with any of them.

***I received a free copy of this book, and in exchange, I have provided an honest review.*** ( )

This book was sent to me by www.librarything.com to review.

In this centenary year of the outbreak of World War 1, this made this book published in this year even more poignant.
This is a well written and well researched story of two brothers Guy and Jack and their different experiences of the horrors of war.
The story line is good and there are twists too, just when the reader thinks they know the story it takes a different angle.
This was extremely moving and I struggled to put the book down I wanted to know what happened.
Comparing this to Pat Barker's novel- Regeneration this was much more compelling.
A great author and it has been a real privilege to review this book. An author to look out for. ( )

I had more trouble getting into it, so much that it just didn't hold my interest very long. ( )

Great historical fiction from a non fiction writer! I enjoyed this book quite a bit, although at first I struggled to get into it. I'm glad I kept reading! ( )
