Description
Edith Fairchild's life has been shaped by the absence of her husband, Benedict, who left their children and her when they were babies. Now, as their children approach adulthood, Edith and her long-term partner Pascal are planning to leave their community and finally be together. However, an explosive encounter between Benedict and Pascal forces old secrets into the light, causing rifts in the happiness and security of the community. As the world around them descends into war, the community struggles to survive. The younger generation enlist or volunteer to support the war effort, facing dangers that seemed unimaginable in the golden summer of 1914. But will the Spindrift community be able to weather the storm and overcome the unexpected threats that lie ahead? Charlotte Betts' beautifully evocative novel is a poignant exploration of love, family, and the power of art in the face of adversity.
