Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars 'Sarah Harrison shows herself to be more than equal to the complexities of her plot, handling its developments with impeccable timing' The Times Thea Tennant, eldest daughter of a wealthy industrialist father and beautiful aristocratic mother, yearns to do more than follow the traditional path laid out for her. When her beautiful but flighty sister Dulcie brings trouble to the family, both Thea and Dulcie are sent to relatives in Austria. But with the onset of War, their lives change beyond recognition. It isn't just the Tennants whose lives have changed: for their parlourmaid, Primmy, the War brings opportunities she is determined to take.

Readers love this dramatic and emotional wartime epic: 'for curling up on the sofa and getting totally and utterly lost in.' Amazon reviewer 'absorbing and gripping' Amazon reviewer 'Unbelievably good book' Amazon reviewer 'A work of extraordinary fictional daring...assured...always convinces' Weekend Telegraph
