Summary

Kitty is loved by two best friends: Ed, a handsome hero, and Larry, not-so-handsome, not-so-heroic, but a good, kind man. Larry adores Kitty from the start, but Kitty finds Ed difficult to resist. When both men go off to war, Ed wins the highest military honour for his bravery. But sometimes heroes don’t make the best husbands.

Motherland

What a fantastic story about the lives of people wrapped up in the Second World War and their lives after and romantic relationship between a group of friends.
