Past Encounters by Deborah Swift (originally published under the pen name Davina Blake) is a poignant, deeply atmospheric historical novel that uncovers the hidden fractures, painful memories, and silent secrets that plague a post-World War II marriage. Set in England in 1955, the narrative follows Rhoda Middleton, who becomes convinced her husband, Peter, is having an affair after intercepting a mysterious letter from another woman. However, her investigation reveals an even more jarring reality: the woman is actually the wife of Archie Foster—Peter’s wartime best friend whom Rhoda has never once heard mentioned in their ten years of marriage.
