Historical Novels Review
"An underlying theme of the novel is personal change as the lives of many of the characters are forever changed by the war, sometimes in unexpected ways."
Winter Roses
By the summer of 1916, there is still no end to the war in sight and in the Sussex village of Ashden optimism has given way to stoicism. While George Lilley leaves the Rectory to join the Royal Flying Corps, each of his four sisters finds her own way of contributing to the war effort. Gradually coming to terms with her broken engagement, Caroline Lilley numbly continues with her agricultural work at home, until tragedy forces her into leaving Ashden. Plunged into the world of military intelligence, she renews her contact with the enigmatic Belgian liaison officer Yves Rosier, but how can she tell if this new relationship is right? And will the war give them the chance to find out?
