Description
A Brief Affair by Margaret Leroy In September 1940, England is once again at war, and for widowed Livia Ripley, life has become fragile. When she meets Hugo Ballantyne, a charismatic publisher, she hopes that her life will soon change for the better. However, as the Luftwaffe intensifies its raids on London, Livia finds herself drawn to a different world - one of comfort and camaraderie at the Balfour Hotel. As the war rages on, Livia volunteers to be a warden, an experience that contrasts sharply with her life in the hotel. It is here that she discovers a strength she never knew she had, a resilience that will ultimately help her save those she loves. This story of a woman finding herself amidst the chaos of war is a powerful exploration of one woman's journey. Reminiscent of classic films, A Brief Affair is a stunningly captured tale of life, love and survival during wartime.
