Elin lives a comfortable but lonely life at Hiram Hall. Hugo loves his young wife but is damaged by his experiences in the Boer War. August 1914 sees Hugo off to the front. Elin must support Hiram and its people, drawing on all her determination to do the right thing. Alongside her cousin Alice and friend Mouse, Elin learns to manage the estate in Cornwall, growing much needed food, sharing her mother's recipes and making new friends—and enemies. But Mouse cannot resist the lure of danger and it isn't long before Elin herself is drawn into the horrors in France. Not everyone escapes unharmed - and when the Great War finally ends, Elin faces an even more difficult battle at home...

Juliet Greenwood studied English at Lancaster University and King’s College, London. She began writing seriously about ten years ago, after a severe viral illness left her with debilitating M.E./Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for years. Juliet always says that M.E. was the worst, and the best, thing that ever happened to her. Juliet also writes stories and serials for magazines as ‘Heather Pardoe’. When not writing, Juliet works on local oral history projects, and helps aspiring writers towards being published.
"When I started to read it, it was like putting on a pair of comfortable old slippers. I just slipped into the characters lives and I devoured every page for its simplicity and honesty." —Annabel, Country Wives
"Ms. Greenwood is a mistress of storytelling. Her novel pulls the reader in from the very first page... I have no doubt whatsoever that you will simply adore Juliet Greenwood's latest novel. I know I did!" —Edith O'Nuallain, Story Circle Book Reviews
"This is such a moving story, one full of emotion and the author captures the atmosphere and adds details that make you feel as if you are there too with Elin. It really was a delight to read this book and I didn't want it to end at all." —Rosie Amber
