Description
A powerful saga about love, loss and family closeness set against the tumultuous years of war and its aftermath. Maria's life is turned upside down when her father suffers an accident and her mother breaks down in grief, forcing her to care for them alone. With her hopes of a career and marriage dashed, she is driven into a reluctant marriage with Barney, but he proves to be no reliable partner. As the young couple faces increasing difficulties, they are forced to leave their home and settle in Birmingham, where tensions rise and ultimately lead to a family crisis. However, out of this turmoil comes something Maria had given up hope of finding again - a chance at happiness. This is a heart-wrenching story that explores the complexities of love, loss and family closeness during times of war and upheaval. Established fans of Anne Bennett will love this superb saga, while new readers may find themselves drawn into its emotional and often difficult world.
