It is six years since the end of the Great War. For Hervey Russell, the years of peace should be bright, her growing literary repute paving the way for membership of London's literary society. But her career is insufficient, and life with an unloving husband makes her long for a new beginning. Her cousin Nicholas, shattered by the war, thinks his life is over, until he meets Hervey.

About the Author
Born in 1891, Jameson became politically engaged during her time at Leeds University and King's College, joining The Eikonoklasts, who were 'sceptics, unavowed anarchists, dedicated to the unmasking of hypocrites'. She published 45 novels and many other works, including the two-volume memoir 'Journey from the North.' As WWII approached, Jameson became the first woman president of International PEN, and was instrumental in the escape of various writers from German-occupied Europe. Both Jeanette Winterson and Zadie Smith have acknowledged Jameson as an important influence on their work.

Not for me. Found it had no story-line and so I couldn't get any connection with characters or content. I gave up on it after several chapters and my view is definitely not the same as a lot of other readers apparently. What one likes another doesn't as the saying goes and therein lies the 'danger' of reviews like this.
