About the Book

New Year's Eve, 1920. The Great War is over and it's a new decade of glamorous promise. But for a generation of women who survived the extreme trauma and tragedy of war, life will never be the same. Damaged and beautiful, they were those who became 'spare brides'. With countless lost, it seems that only wealth and beauty will secure a husband from the few men who returned from the war, but lonely Beatrice has neither attribute. Ava has both, although she sees marriage as a restrictive cage after the freedom war allowed. Sarah paid the war's ultimate price: her husband's life. Lydia should be grateful that her husband's desk job kept him safe, but she sees only his cowardice. A chance encounter for one of these woman with a striking yet haunted officer changes everything. In a world altered beyond recognition, where not all scars are visible, this damaged and beautiful group must grasp any happiness they can find - whatever the cost.

Review :
A wonderful book about a group of women struggling to deal with life after World War One. Bright young things and disappointed hopes, it is a heady cocktail of love, class and beaded frocks. Her most accomplished novel yet There are some seriously fab frocks in Adele Parks' latest novel. Dramatic and swooningly romantic, this is historical fiction with real heart [Adele Parks'] love of the era shines through in this big romantic tale A total smash Want a moving and thought-provoking book about love to warm you up for Valentine's Day? Set in the roaring '20s after WW1, it tells the story of four women trying to find happiness despite tragedy You'll love the drama, the gorgeous dresses, grand houses and, in particular, the handsome but damaged love interest A wonderfully absorbing tale of friendship, rich in period detail A fantastic read
