Publisher's Summary
When Lady Helen Hardingham’s parents say she will never find a better husband than Richard, she agrees to marry him. But all too soon Richard returns to war, and Helen begins to wonder just who she has married. Then she meets Oliver Donovan. As the war continues, Oliver has to return to his regiment - and is never seen again. But Helen is left with more than just her memories: she is with child.
Twenty years later and a second war is ravaging Europe. Now a grown woman, Helen’s daughter, Laura, is also caught in a tragic love affair and left expecting a baby. Gradually the truth about her parentage comes out, old wounds are healed, and, with Helen’s support, Laura learns to fall in love again.

Superb combination of mystery and romance.
I was mesmerised by this story and found it difficult to stop listening until the end. The story, which begins in 1918, is a convincing portrayal of the period, and especially the plight of unmarried mothers at this time, as well as during the Second World War.
Hilary Neville's narration is brilliant! The way she voices the different characters is exceptional.
This book would appeal to anyone who enjoys stories set in this period, and to those who enjoyed The Cazalet Chronicles by Elizabeth Jane Howard or the books of Kate Morton.
