Description
The Burning Roses by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles is set against the backdrop of World War I. As the initial euphoria of war wears off, the nation's resolve to win becomes more determined than ever. Against this sombre context, the lives of several individuals become intertwined as they navigate their roles in the war effort. Jessie, who has already been involved in charity work, finds herself on the wards of a hospital, where she faces challenges she is not prepared for. Meanwhile, Helen and Jack settle into their new home, while Violet's life is disrupted by a chance encounter with an artist. As the family waits anxiously for news from the Front, they must come to terms with the reality of war. The fate of those involved hangs in the balance as the Battle of Loos looms on the horizon. Will Ned and Bertie return safely, or will the new offensive prove too much for them? The Burning Roses is a gripping portrayal of life during wartime, where the personal struggles of individuals are set against the backdrop of one of history's most pivotal conflicts.
