Williamsburg, London and the Continent provide the settings, and the first World War and the confused, exotic years which followed it provide the time for this fifth romantic novel in the "Williamsburg" series. Readers of "The Light Heart", "Ever After", "Yankee Stranger", and "Dawn's Early Light" will recognize old friends in the cast of characters - or the descendants of old friends - and will find new ones in the heightened drama which leads them into the relentless 1930's. It is a tight and moving narrative of people trying to live their lives against catastrophic odds, of real and heart-warming people demanding their right to happiness in whatever time was left to them and creating for each other little pockets of security and laughter in the midst of strain and uncertainty. Elswyth Thane again reveals her mastery of historical materials, her deep knowledge of man's character, and an artist's instinct for the enduring values of a civilized way of life.
