About this title

About the Author:

Linda Sole is the well-loved author of over forty novels. She lives in Cambridge, but loves to spend as much time as possible in the sunshine of Spain, where she walks, swims and sits in the evening sun to write her stories of love, romance and the darker side of human relationships.

From Booklist:

World War II looms on the horizon, but life and love continue in both England and France. Georgie is 26 when she buries her much older husband; later she embarks on an affair with her first (and married) love, only to discover that he has volunteered for a dangerous covert military assignment. Hetty, who eloped to France at 17 and then dumped her unfaithful lover, is driven by the cruelties of war to join the French underground resistance. Beth, orphaned at 9 and now a reserved and inexperienced young woman of 19, meets and marries a young army officer who is called to active duty, while she works in a confidential secretarial capacity to his cousin, an important War Office official. Sole's historical romance, the third in her Country House series, displays her excellent grasp of the realities of war and brings a now-distant time to vivid life for those who did not experience it themselves.
