As World War II rages, Olivia Ord, an educated London woman, and her young children Amelia and Stephen shelter in bucolic Devon. After V-E Day, her husband Craig returns from military duty and the family reunites in the city, where the four of them share the highest of hopes for their future together. Twenty months later, though, as a result of bad advice and miscommunication, they are in East Africa where they are inexorably drawn into the dying embers of colonial life. The consequences reverberate through the decades and across continents as Amelia, who is seemingly the most impacted, re-invents herself in America in an attempt to regain for her family what they have lost. As a next generation reaches adulthood under very different circumstances, Amelia learns a secret Olivia has kept and everything comes full circle back to Devon. This is a soaring story of love, separation, fallibility and unexpected second chances.ASIN: 0578489163VSKU: PKV.0578489163.GCondition: GoodAuthor/Artist:Blumberg, LisaBinding: PaperbackNote: Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.
