Description
Whip-smart and utterly transportive, this is historical fiction of the highest order. Set against the vibrant backdrop of a seaside hotel in 1919, the story follows Constance Haverhill as she navigates a world on the cusp of change. With the men back from the front, Constance must find a new path, but it's not long before she's swept up in the social whirl of Hazelbourne-on-Sea and its colorful inhabitants. As Constance becomes embroiled in the lives of the local women, she meets Poppy Wirrall, a free-spirited daughter of a land-owning baronet, who runs a ladies' motorcycle club and is determined to add flying lessons to her list. But beneath the surface of this sunny pocket of English high society, tensions simmer. As the country prepares to celebrate its hard-won peace, Constance and the women of the club must confront the fact that their freedoms are being revoked. A charming and uplifting tale, this novel is a tender romance, a coming-of-age story, and a poignant portrait of a nation on the brink of change.
