Military nurse Charlotte Brown is ready to put the devastation of the Great War behind her. After four years of service, the vicar’s daughter is passionate about helping others.
Moving to Liverpool to live in a women’s boarding house, she’s dedicated to her job. But just as she begins to settle a routine, two messages arrive that change her life forever. Offered the opportunity to speak out for those less fortunate, Charlotte relishes her position as a newspaper columnist. But all this changes when a man from her past comes back into the picture.
As Britain seethes with unrest and post-war euphoria flattens into bitter disappointment, Charlotte must face long-held insecurities and find her true voice.
Finding the courage to decide if the life she has created is the one she truly wants.
International bestseller author Jennifer Robson’s prose on women’s rights is a refreshing take on post-war life.
Highlighting women’s issues and the power of the suffragette movement, engaging character analysis makes this tale of class, love and freedom an excellent read.
