I’ve always enjoyed this author through her sailing yarns, her crime and now an historical novel. The jealousies, hardship and mistrust of the men returning from war and the attitudes, particularly between the sexes, are beautifully handled. The historical detail is fascinating, I learned a lot about the Polish army. The whole thing builds in an eerie tale of suspicion. I loved it.

In this ';thoughtful, deeply atmospheric novel' by the author of Wolf Winter, a Polish refugee faces suspicion after a death in rural postwar England (Daily Mail). After World War II ends, soldiers are pouring back into Britain, and in 1946, the country is on the brink of the harshest winter in a hundred years. Blizzards rage and everything is in short supply: jobs, coal, food.
