A young woman who doesn't want to be tied down.

But history has other plans.
Then World War One breaks out, and the Warringtons’ peaceful existence is shattered forever. Amid the chaos, Marianne seizes her chance to prove she’s more than just a spinster.

Yet there’s one face she can’t banish from her thoughts. It belongs to Major Albert Thorneycroft: a handsome and perplexing stranger who means more to Marianne than she’d care to admit.
What if finding happiness means losing herself?
As the war rages on, a battle ensues between Marianne’s head and heart, testing her resolve like never before.

What a Lovely Story
This is the second talking book I’ve listened to, from this author. It is a well researched book and brings episodes of that era to life. Of course when a war is involved it isn’t dressed up in glitter and it’s well known that that was a tough time for all concerned. However, life moves along and the families involved are a close knit group, something that gives the listeners a sense of belonging. I now look forward to choosing another of her titles.
