Critic reviews

"A sweeping multi-generational tale that will catch your heart." (Katie Fforde, Sunday Times best seller)

"Josa Keyes writes with warmth and wisdom about the complexities of motherhood in this captivating tale of four generations of women that sweeps eighty years of English history. Her eye for period detail is masterly and her characters so vivid they dance from the page and into our hearts." (Rachel Hore, best-selling novelist)

Most relevant
A very enjoyable story of womens’ lives in aristocratic circles over four generations from the Second World War to the end of the 20th century - courtship, marriage, work and motherhood. Their often privileged existence does not prevent turbulent and often shocking experiences of sexual assault and mental illness. It offers fascinating accounts of social change in the period, including the debutante world of the London Season and provides a moving and redemptive conclusion.
