Description
Set in the aftermath of World War II, Peace, Perfect Peace is a poignant and humorous tale about women rebuilding their lives after the upheavals of war.
The story follows Frances Smallwood as she returns from service and stays with her mother-in-law Joanna, who has cared for her two children during the war. Tensions arise as Frances comes to believe Joanna's actions are undermining her relationship with her children, while a young novelist friend, Clare, struggles with writer's block and romantic difficulties.
This novel offers a fascinating glimpse into life in the months just after the war's end, from rationing to the omnipresence of dust from bombed-out buildings. With complex, multi-dimensional characters at its heart, Peace, Perfect Peace is a nuanced exploration of human relationships and the challenges of rebuilding.
