Product Description
A rich and compelling wartime saga from the author of Wish Me Luck
Book Description
Kathy Burton longs to escape the drudgery of her life as an unpaid labourer on her father’s farm. With only the local church choir and the occasional dance at the village hall for amusement, she yearns for the bright lights. Spurning Morry Robinson’s proposal of marriage, Kathy goes to live in the city with his aunt, Jemima Robinson. In turn, she finds employment for Kathy in a department store, but is anxious when Kathy is captivated by the sophisticated and handsome floor manager, Tony Kendall. ‘He has a reputation,’ the outspoken Jemima warns her. ‘He’s had more girl friends than I’ve got shoes in my closet.’ Kathy has fallen deeply and irrevocably in love and, even when the country is plunged into war, she can see no obstacle to their future. But she has reckoned without the devious mind of Tony’s invalid mother, Beatrice Kendall. ‘You’ll never marry my son,’ she vows. ‘I’ll see to that.’ Determined that the possessive woman won’t win, Kathy plans her wedding, but the day is ruined and Tony is called up before another date can be arranged. Feeling deserted, Kathy is forced to face yet further heartache and shame alone. At last, she finds solace in joining a concert party entertaining service men and woman and war workers. But behind the songs and the smiles, her heart is breaking . . .

As usual Margaret Dickinson's latest book is a beautiful story that has its sad moments where the characters suffer hurt and humiliation as well as love. The strong character of Kathy is to be admired as she conquers the hurdles life throws at her. Set in Lincolnshire mostly, the reader who knows the area can imagine the fictitious places that are mentioned as being somewhere familiar to them. Well Done Margaret, is it really that long till 2009 and I can read your next book.

Another great read from such a talented writer. No-one does this kind of story better than Margaret. Can highly recommend. When is the next due?

I was really looking forward to reading another of her books but I must admit that I didn't enjoy this one as much as her others
