What Reviewers Are Saying
'An absorbing novel about life and love at the time of the Great War. The characters are all wonderfully written, with great depth and shades of light and dark... The story plays out beautifully and the book was quite impossible to put down.' The Bookbag. 'A sensitive and poignant love story with twists, turns and a pervading sense of sadness and an overwhelming sense of inevitability reminiscent of the great Mazo de la Roche as she explores the same theme as in that author's WAKEFIELD'S COURSE. Beautiful writing, a lovely read...' Books Monthly 'With richly realised characters that jump off the pages, an engrossing narrative that grabs your attention from the very first page and two powerful love stories that will touch your heart and have you reaching for the tissues, the fantastic Catherine Law has penned an outstanding family saga that you will not easily forget'.
