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.

1915. When Guy Searight volunteers to fight with the British army 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: World War One Historical Fiction' is a tale of love, loss and longing.

'The Searight Saga' Part Two, The Unforgiving Sea, is now available.

"A tale of love, loyalty, and conflict of a scope few writers could realize but all readers will enjoy."

“A thoroughly enjoyable but sad story. Captured so much of the life and death during World War One. Hard to put down.”

“Great descriptive story.....brought tears to my eyes....very well written......couldn't put it down...highly recommend...you won't be disappointed.”

"'This Time Tomorrow' is a beautifully written and compulsive read."

"So many twists and turns you could never predict where you were going to be on the next page."

"An incredibly moving novel and wonderfully written. Highly recommended and one which I shall long remember."

Historical fiction with heart and drama.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Rupert Colley was born one Christmas Day, which means, as a child, he lost out on presents. Nonetheless, looking back on it, he lived a childhood with a "silver spoon in my mouth" - brought up in a rambling manor house in the beautiful Devon countryside. It's been downhill ever since. He was a librarian for a long time, a noble profession. Then he started a series called History In An Hour, "history for busy people", which he sold to HarperCollins UK. Rupert now lives in London with his wife, two children and dog (a fluff ycockapoo) and writes historical fiction, mainly 20th century war and misery. Historical fiction with heart.

5,0 su 5 stelle I had great uncles and great cousins who fought in WW1
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 agosto 2013

even though it was not taking place in the US I found the details much as I would imagine a US solider would have experienced, as well as, the family waiting at home Those waiting on the home front were described as their Ives would have been effected at that time in history. The descriptions of the battlefields and the men at battle were chilling. Colley did a fantastic job putting the reader in the moment.

The plot was well thought out, the characters were real, I could see how the different situations could have occurred, again, this was to Colley's credit. An old time war story turned into a much greater story. It didn't turn out as I expected and for me, that made a far more stimulating read. It was interesting to compare then to now, the limited weapons, the limited medical care really made me stop and realize the horrors experienced and loss felt by all in this battle.

It is a wonderful book, take the time to become a part of this family, I will recommend the book.

'This was fear all right. Fear of death perhaps; fear of pain most certainly; fear of letting your comrades down; fear of letting yourself down. The fear of being killed; the fear of killing.'

This Time Tomorrow is the debut novel from seasoned historical writer Rupert Colley, and let me tell you, it's a cracking good read. Colley is well known for his powerful and concise descriptions of both World Wars (amongst other topics) from his History in an Hour series, but unshackled by the factual constraints of non-fiction, the author gives his imagination full reign and this breathtaking historical novel is the result.

Set during the Great, or First World War, This Time Tomorrow tells the tale of two brothers and their experiences in the trenches and back home in England, in a society simply refusing to accept the true horrors of the conflict just across the Channel. Much of the book is set in France, and Colley does not flinch from painting the brutal reality of trench warfare in all its gory detail. Yet it is the psychological effect the fighting has in the two central characters that is most skillfully portrayed and most effecting to the reader. Drawn to the affections of the same girl back home, we watch as Guy's and Jack's sibling rivalry is dwarfed by the enormity of the carnage around them and the life altering experiences the two are forced to face.

Having previously read Colley's historical novella My Brother the Enemy, I have to admit that I was initially disappointed by the apparent similarity between the two stories' main premisses. It did not take long however, for my doubt to be cast aside, as This Time Tomorrow is clearly head and shoulders above the previous effort - and that is saying something since My Brother the Enemy is also a great read. With this longer format, Colley has obviously hit his stride, rounding out his characters well and imbuing them with deep human motivations and fears making the pathos of the story's dramatic climaxes all the more powerful.

Easy to read and filled with detailed historical elements, This Time Tomorrow whisks the reader off to another world, yet never at the loss of the immediacy of the book's emotions. From the unimaginable terrors of the trenches to the heady, foolish lust of first love, the alienation of the returning soldier and the scars of the heart and mind that never quite heal, This Time Tomorrow is an impressive achievement. It is a tale of love, loyalty, and conflict of a scope few writers could realize but all readers will enjoy.

4,0 su 5 stelle pretty good historical fiction
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 1 settembre 2013

A free Kindle download I got a few weeks ago.

It follows two British brothers in WWI who both enlist in the British army.

They both want the same girl.

Their military exploits end badly for both of them and neither ends up with the girl they both want, although one of them has an affair with the girl after she marries their cousin.

Kind of a low end 4 star book but worth the time spent reading it.

The book which revolves around two brothers who volunteer for the Army in the Great War and find themselves in the the same regiment and in the same trenches together. The book is well written and certainly had me gripped to the storyline from start to finish. Great book for those who want to read about the experiences of the trenches of the Great War, to justice of the Army during the war

5,0 su 5 stelle Dramatic read
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 14 giugno 2014
Acquisto verificato
This is the story of a family living during the WWI era, but especially it is the story of two brothers. The elements of love, betrayal, and conflict within and between the brothers are skillfully drawn. Characters are genuine with all their faults, weaknesses, strengths, and uncertainties. The highlight of the novel (for me) is the descriptive force depicting life in the trenches, combat, and the tragic aftermath it had on the minds and bodies of the brothers. This is truly a 5 star novel. Reviewed by the author of The Children's Story, About Good and Evil.
