Synopsis
Office worker Eveline Fenton's life changes forever when she's caught up in a suffragette march in the summer of 1909. It is here that Eveline meets Constance Mornington. Though the two girls are from very different background - Eveline is a grocer's daughter from the East End of London and Connie is the daughter of a wealthy Harley Street doctor - their meeting is the start of a life-long friendship. However, both girls are forced to keep their political beliefs from their families. Eveline's father doesn't approve of the movement, believing a woman's place is in the home. Connie's parents are more concerned with respectability. They expect Connie to marry well, perhaps dabble in charity work and leave the politics to her husband. However, when Connie falls for a lowly bank clerk she is forced to make a choice between her family and the man she loves. Meanwhile, in contrast, Eveline finds herself attracted to a gentleman she meets at the suffragette meetings but is Laurence Jones-Fairbrook merely dallying with her affections?

About the Author
Elizabeth Lord was born in the East End of London but moved to Essex as a young girl, where she has lived ever since. She has a son and two daughters, all married, and enjoys travelling.
From Publishers Weekly
British author Lord (The Flower Girl) places lackluster, interchangeable characters against a backdrop of political change and WWI in this disappointing saga. Constance Connie Mornington, a wealthy doctor's daughter, and Eveline Fenton, an office worker from the East End of London, go against their families' wishes and join the women's suffrage movement, and their incongruous friendship blooms. The plot plods along as Connie's family disowns her for loving bank clerk George Towers, and Eveline's wealthy lover predictably gets her pregnant and abandons her. Eveline's grandmother, who is exceptionally modern for one of seventy, and Albert Adams, the man who agrees to marry Eveline despite her pregnancy, are pleasant distractions, but the central friendship is never truly convincing, and the frequent bickering is obnoxious. Despite the rich setting, this novel merely simmers when it should boil. (Nov.)
