Synopsis

Eighteen-year-old Evie arrives at Post Stone Farm in December 1944, and choosing to join the Land Army, she longs for quiet days. The other land girls have already formed close friendships, and Evie barely makes a ripple when trying to blend in. But it is here she falls in love with Giorgio, an Italian POW. All this changes one June evening when Corporal Norman Clark arrives at the farm and a startling revelation thrusts Evie into the spotlight. As the full history of her tragic life becomes known to the valley people, many of them become deeply and in some cases, violently, involved in overcoming the obstacles which lie between Evie and the happiness and the enduring love she deserves.

About this title

Review:

Julia's superb Land Girls series continues with this terrific yarn about Evie. Faultless writing, memorable characters and a story that's as old as the hills, but with Julia's unique style and lightness of touch. Sparkling, meaningful dialogue lifts this above the realms of romantic fiction - there's a real story to be told in this book, and Julia handles it superbly. Books Monthly
