Klappentext
Whip-smart and utterly transportive, this is historical fiction of the highest order - an unforgettable coming-of-age story, a tender romance, and a portrait of a nation on the brink of change'A charming and uplifting tale - I LOVED every minute!' FAITH HOGAN'A ripping tale of friendship, survival and true love' CELIA IMRIE'Witty, amusing and touchingly emotive ' ROSIE GOODWIN'A page-turning original story' KATIE FFORDE-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Summer, 1919: Constance Haverhill is forced to relinquish her beloved job - and cottage - at the estate she helped to run during the war. Instead, she's sent as an old lady's companion to Hazelbourne-on-Sea, where she meets Poppy, a trouser-wearing local who runs a ladies' motorcycle (and, hopefully soon, flying) club, and Harris, her recalcitrant but handsome brother - a pilot wounded in battle - who warms in Constance's presence, among the other colourful inhabitants of this sunny pocket of high society. But things are increasingly complicated. As the country prepares to celebrate peace, the women of the club are forced to confront the fact that the freedoms gained during the war are being revoked. In a timeless comedy of manners, with sharp humour, biting wit and a warm heart, Simonson captures the mood of a generation facing the seismic changes brought on by war. Readers LOVE The Hazelbourne Ladies'An absolute must for lovers of historical fiction' *****'What a delight! ... captured the essence of the era' *****'This book was brilliant! Totally recommend it' *****'I loved the characters ... and found out more than I expected *****Biografie
