Description
The war is over but the survivors are haunted by those they have lost…
War widow Lucy Peuse is content in her quiet life as secretary for her uncle and his dashing young partner, Robert Underhill, at their Cotswold book press. But rations still rule and paper is the golden egg, and when Robert is found using the skills he gleaned as a British POW to give the business a leg up, Lucy is suddenly a player in a dark world where everyone has an eye on the ledger and will do whatever it takes to prevent their neighbour’s gain. Caught between society’s expectations and her own dreams, Lucy will have to break free of the ghosts of the past in order to find answers she needs to secure the future... for her and Robert both.
A page-turning and thought-provoking historical literary novel.
