Remembrance Sunday is a time to remember the milli Remembrance Sunday is a time to remember the millions who fought and died in conflict. For a powerful tribute to historical soldiers as well as those who tried to pick up the pieces following the First World War, we would recommend @florajowriter's The Paris Peacemakers. Head over to her account for a series of moving posts about the @scotlandteam players in the novel. Get your copy from the link in our bio. 1919, Paris. As the guns fall silent, The Paris Peacemakers follows those attempting to start afresh while the fabric of Europe is stitched together for good or ill. Stella Rutherford, desperate to staunch her grief, has thrown herself into her work at the International Peace Conference, while the crucial negotiations play out. Her sister Corran is also headed to France where the wounds of war are still fresh for many, including her fiancé Rob Campbell. Rob, one of the few surviving members of a celebrated Scottish rugby team, has been profoundly marked by his time as a surgeon on the front line. What comes next for each of them? #theparispeacemakers #ww1 #historicalfiction
