Reviewed for newbooks magazine

I was delighted to be given a copy of this book to review for newbooksmag






My rating: 5 of 5 stars
jaffa's rating 5 paws



When Non Davies's husband, Davey,returns from the Great War, she is relieved to have him home in one piece, and yet Davey bears the unseen scars of war, and still lives with the horror of the trenches. Non must use all her skills, and do what must be done in order to keep her family together.


This quietly understated book is a delight to read, the story gripped me from its opening chapter, and kept me enthralled until its emotional conclusion. There is an underlying strength which comes from fine writing, great attention to detail, and the author’s natural ability to tell a good story.


Read it if you can.
