We'll Meet Again: The romantic new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Anton Du Beke (The Buckingham Hotel)

Product Information

We’ll Meet Again‘ opens with the declaration of war and we instantly know that life at the Buckingham is about the change.

Raymond De Guise is home on leave from Dunkirk and is so busy helping out elsewhere, he’s not striking the right balance with his wife, Nancy. For those of you who joined me during lockdown on my YouTube and Zoom sessions, you’ll know how much fun the audience participation can be – and how much I loved it! I feel at a slight disadvantage here as I haven’t read the first books in this series and so was not really invested in the characters.He’s struggling and doesn’t know what he can do, when he can’t go back to his unit or to his old life as a ballroom dancer. Newlywed Nancy knows that her brave husband, debonair dancer Raymond de Guise will want to fight for his country and enlist. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. There is still the glitz and glamour of the Great Ballroom but there are also the harsh realities of the early days of World War 2. Speaking about one particular recurring character in the series, Georges de la Motte, Anton revealed the real-life inspiration behind him.

Huge apologies – I’m so sorry to be the bearer of such news, I know we’ve all been looking forward to the tour so much! If you haven't already read the first three books, you could do yourself a favour and play catch-up.However, the process for writing this book was clearly different and the stylistic differences made it a thoroughly enjoyable read. For series thirteen, Du Beke was partnered with newscaster and presenter Katie Derham they made it to Du Beke's first final in all thirteen series and were eliminated in fourth place. There are several stories of staff being related and so events move from one perspective to another. It does follow on and I think the characters will come across much better if you do meet them from the start and grow along with them from what has happened in the previous books.
