Publisher's Summary

Brighton, 1930: Maureen O'Connell is a carefree girl, but war is looming, and life will never be the same again.

Jack and Nelson have always been dear friends to Maureen. Despite their different backgrounds, they've seen each other through thick and thin.

The candle Maureen's always held for Jack burns bright, but just as she's found love, war wrenches them apart. With Jack no longer by her side and Nelson at war, can Maureen look to a brighter future?

What a wonderful character.

The characters came to life in a tale of love and loss. The question of friendship and love in marriage was explored, and we can see the struggle throughout the trilogy. I loved the series. A must-read.
