Résumé
Synopsis:The War That Couldn't Wait is a searing World War II novel about legacy, sacrifice, and the lines we cross to carry each other home. When sixteen-year-old Melvin Cornedge forges enlistment papers and storms Omaha Beach with the 29th Infantry, he isn't chasing glory-he's chasing the trail of his father, Sergeant Marvyn Cornedge, believed missing in action. What begins as a reckless act of love becomes a brutal crucible as Melvin fights through the shattered towns of Normandy, bound to a promise no one asked him to keep.
Guided by the gruff but loyal Corporal Waylon, Melvin encounters the true cost of war: bullet-riddled villages, broken bodies, and a brotherhood stitched together by grit and grief. Along the way, fragments of Marvyn's story emerge-an act of sacrifice, a medic's testimony, and a note scribbled in pain. When a discharge order arrives near Saint-Laurent-de-Cuves, it's not just Melvin's body that returns home, but the weight of everything he's carried: his father's dog tags, a letter folded in blood, and the ashes of a boyhood lost in the mud of France.
Years later, Melvin's son, James, will uncover the silence between those men and give it voice-because some wars don't end when the fighting does. Some live on in memory, passed from father to son-not as wounds, but as quiet acts of love that outlast the battlefield.
