The secrets that might save a nation could shatter a marriage.

Madly in love, Diana Foyle and Brent Somerville married in London as the bombs of World War II dropped on their beloved city. Without time for a honeymoon, the couple spent the next four years apart. Diana, an architectural historian, took a top-secret intelligence post at Bletchley Park. Brent, a professor of theology at King’s College, believed his wife was working for the Foreign Office as a translator when he was injured in an attack on the European front.

Now that the war is over, the Somervilles’ long-anticipated reunion is strained by everything they cannot speak of. Diana’s extensive knowledge of London’s churches could help bring down a Russian agent named Eternity. She’s eager to help MI6 thwart Communist efforts to start a new war, but because of the Official Secrets Act, Diana can’t tell Brent the truth about her work.

Determined to save their marriage and rebuild the city they call home, Diana and Brent’s love is put to the ultimate test as they navigate the rubble of war and the ruins of broken trust.

"While some adjusted to air-raid sirens and others to the lost light of blackouts, Diana Somerville never recovered from the absence of church bells."

London's grand churches, whose spires graced the city's classic skyline, were Diana Somerville's lifeblood; she cherished them, she inhaled their presence, they exhilarated her, they introduced her to the love of her life. "Diana Foyle. Like the bookshop on Charing Cross Road." . . . became Mrs. Brent Somerville within the ruins of one of those magnificent houses of worship, for the Second World War had only just begun to unleash its fury from the skies.

After being separated for four interminable years during the war, Diana and Brent finally manage to re-unite, finding that the words they cannot say shout above the ones that they barely manage to whisper. Secrets; they can bind or break, can they not? . . . . . exhibiting enough strength to topple a marriage just as surely as a cracked foundation dares to cripple the very building that depends on its stability. Diana's work within British intelligence is a story that she cannot tell, while Brent relives the nightmares of his battlefield experiences each and every night. Can they dare to love, not who they were, but who they have become? Especially, and maybe because, Diana's promise to another has not yet been fulfilled.

It's a restoration story for the ages, for just like Diana's beloved houses of worship, the cracks and repairs between these two lovers become part an integral part of their reconstructed unity, "for as long as a populous finds its heart in the the center of churches, so our nation will rise. Our churches are our heartbeat".

Readers should ready themselves to sink hard and fast into McMillan's lush descriptive prose, heartily admiring the author's vast knowledge of history, architecture, and classical music while letting her book's message tenderly imprint "pragma, philia, ludus, storge, agape" . . . . love, upon the pages of their hearts.

5つ星のうち5.0 I adored it!

I can’t claim to know as much about churches and Christopher Wren as Diana Somerville, but I do have a deep, visceral love of churches and all they embody, so pair that with a war-time romance and I was never in any doubt that this would be a book I would sink into and adore. And adore it I did. Not only did London’s churches play a significant physical role in the story, but their brokenness, their need for restoration, was a perfect metaphor for the toll war had taken on Diana and Brent’s marriage and the restoration it, too, needed to undergo.

At this point, it possibly needs to be said: Pillars of the Earth this is not. It is the restoration of Diana and Brent’s marriage that is at the heart of The London Restoration rather than the physical rebuilding of London—churches or generally. There’s no fear of getting bogged down in architectural details. But at the same time, McMillan’s passion for churches and her meticulous research imbues the story with an authenticity that brings the setting and the characters to life. It’s a perfect marriage for lovers of tangible history and romance, if not a perfect marriage for the characters!

Speaking of the characters, I loved Diana and Brent for their intelligence, their maturity, their moments of droll humour, and I ached for them as they struggled to re-establish their marriage in the wake of a war that had changed them in so many ways. It’s a romance that very deliberately looks beyond the physical connection between a husband and wife to the emotional foundation that supports it—as Brent so aptly puts it: making sure the columns are straight before rebuilding the dome. It’s a delicate operation with four years of war-time experiences and an Official Secrets Act between them, but every deliberate step speaks to the genuine love (all seven kinds, according to the Greeks and Professor Somerville) that binds Brent and Diana amidst the rubble.

And can I just say, Sophie and Simon—my goodness, what personalities! I can’t wait to read more about them in The Mozart Code.

In short, this book was my happy place!

Such a good book! Loved this read and learning more about Christopher Wren, post-WWII restoration efforts, and the time between WWII and the Cold War. There were some poignant lines that could apply just as easily to today as the 1940s. Fascinating time period.

I also loved the inclusion of "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square," and how it was as much a love song to a city as between two people. That's just what I felt about this book and London!
