Three years ago, Margot’s life was turned upside down when her fiancé, Harry, went missing in action on the Western Front. Worse, she was left with a devastating secret which threatened to ruin her life and destroy the reputation of her family. As a respectable vicar’s daughter, Margot has had to guard that secret with great care ever since, no matter how much pain it causes her.

Now it’s Christmas 1919, and Margot’s family is gathering back home in the vicarage for the first time since the end of the Great War. And miraculously Harry has returned, hoping to see Margot and rekindle their romance. Can Margot ever reveal the shocking truth to the only man she has ever loved?

This is a beautifully written book that captivated me from the start and I couldnt put it down. Such a good story and based on a situation that many women probably found themselves in after ww1. A great work of historical fiction

Historical fiction and YA combine to make the most perfect novel. The story totally engulfs you right from the very beginning. Beautiful.
