"No Hero" by E.W. Hornung is a story set in the early 1900s that looks at what people owe to each other, relationships, and how much our past affects us. The book follows Duncan Clephane, a war veteran, who meets up again with Catherine Evers and her son, Bob. As the story goes on Duncan tries to guide Bob away from an ill-advised romance with a widow named Mrs. Lascelles, dealing with his own feelings for Catherine and feeling obligated to help her son, while battling his trauma from the war. It's a tale of love, friendship, and the tough decisions people make when duty calls.
