Grace, Florence and Clarissa are three very different women with very different lives and this novel, Vincenzi’s fifth, is all about how the monumental events and social evolution of World War Two inexorably change them. Gripping, tantalising, packed with as many twists and turns as you expect from Vincenzi it’s a wonderful book about the effect of the war on how women could live.
Grace Marchant marries Charles Bennett at the beginning of the second world war,and loses him before she has really begun to know him-or even herself. In the five years while he is away,she makes her own life,on her own terms,and finds a new love,overwhelming and exciting in a way that her relationship with her husband never was. The return of Graces husband not dead at all,but very much alive-not only presents her with the most agonizing of dilemmas,but brings to light many things which would have been much better left in the dark.....
