In a world at war, can one woman find the courage to break with the past and follow her heart?

She was in love with the wrong man. When Rachel’s husband returns from the war broken and angry, Rachel soon begins to lose all hope for their future together despite all her efforts to revive a love she once thought would never die. Then she meets an officer who served with her husband in the war, and finds herself falling impossibly in love.

Caught in the bitter conflict between her sense of duty to her ailing husband and the desire to be with the man she loves, Rachel struggles to make an impossible choice. But when long-held secrets come slowly to light, the bonds of love and loyalty are stretched to breaking point. Can she learn to let go of the burdens of the past and find the happiness she seeks? Or will the ghosts of the past haunt her always?

The Officer’s Affair: A Novel of World War II is by Samantha Grosser. This novel is definitely one which will keep you up all night reading. It simply cannot be put down. It is definitely well-developed and the characters seem to jump of the page and join you as you read.
The story begins after the battle of Anzio in Italy during World War II. Rachel’s husband Danny had come home after Anzio; but he came home without legs and definitely a changed man. Rachel had wanted only one thing and that was for her loving husband to get home alive. She and their two children had been living with her parents since his Father had died and the family business closed. Her sister, Kate, lived there as well. Danny and his Father-in-law had really never gotten along and with Danny in a wheel chair and having to have someone with him to help him was humiliating for Danny and his Father-in-law took advantage of that to be on his case. Danny wasn’t the same person he had been before leaving. He did not want to have any physical contact with his wife. He got a job at the local pub and spent all his time their drinking. Rachel did not know how to reach him.
One day, Danny’s platoon officer, Captain Andrews came to visit Danny. There was an immediate attraction between Captain Andrews and Rachel. They fought it but finally succumbed to the attraction and began an affair.
What would become of them now? Would Rachel leave Danny for Captain Andrews or would he just go away.
After many twists and turns, the book comes to an end only to have a major twist at the end. Makes for a great book.

What a sad and lonely story. Love is so indiscriminate!

The choice to fall and stay in love with one person can be a roll of the dice as so well described in this heart breaking story. I have to admit I didn't like Rachael or Capt. Andrews at all during the beginning of their affair. Her husband Danny did not choose to become a cripple having given so much to his country during WWII. It actually angered me. I hated Rachel's father... what an ass!

I would urge anyone reading the book to finish it as there are a few surprises. I had to search my own conscience over and over to decide what I might have done given similar circumstances and constantly remind myself of the timeframe here.

It's a very good book. A soul searcher! Recommend to readers of historical fiction and romance.

Good story about how war shatters people. A husband returns from fighting in WWII without his legs. His commanding officer comes to visit and falls in love with the wife. They have an affair and he begs her to leave her husband. She refuses due to her loyalty to her husband but there are secrets the husband has. So glad the author wrote an alternate ending to the book. It made it much better.

Historical heartbreak book. No HEA. This is a story of moral high character people who stand by their vows, except when they are having an affair. The circumstance are strained so its understandable. Towards the end of the war we figure there is a chance these two great people will be together. You’ll have to read to know of all the wrongs rights and back and forth with this sad tale. The author has an alternate ending.

I loved this book! To first worry if your man will even make it back from war and when he does, he’s an entirely different person. She does her best to be there for him but he has a lot to deal with and pushes her away. I can’t say much without giving it away but damn it’s not how I thought it would end!! Sigh.... the what if’s

I found it hard to cheer for infidelity in this book, but I couldn't help it. The love story sucked me in & I was hooked. I appreciated the ending, but did not like it

I read many, many books from
The WWII genre and have forgotten more than I can remember. The Officer’s Affair will be one that will stay with me even if I read 200 more books from this era. The characters are realistic and so is the story and ending. I would highly recommend this book. I am going to get my hands on the other books written by Samantha Grosser—what a talent!

This is one of those books where you just can't put it down and forget about it!

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2020

This is one of those books where - once you start it - you just can't put it down and forget about it! My favorite type of book. This is due to the author's ability to have masterfully created contentious relationships with intensely dramatic (and sometimes distressing and disturbing) story lines within this book.

A very well written book set during WW2.

I loved this book. It was authentic and very well written. At first you cant understand why the couple in love didn't handle things differently but then you have to remember it was the Forties and peoples' attitudes were very different then. They thought about others and what they might think and tried to do things the right way. I was a little disappointed in the ending because we all want happy endings but then found there was an alternative ending, which I have just read. I must admit I preferred the alternative ending. I recommend this book to anyone who likes the setting of WW2 and a good love story.

Amazing book

Reviewed in Australia on November 8, 2023

I love that it explores the lives of wounded soldiers and their families, how PTSD can affect family dynamics.
It also explores the hardships of women in that time and the courage to do what is right, always!
