Violet is 38.
The First World War took everything from her. Her brother, her fiancĂ© â and her future. She is now considered a âsurplus womanâ.
But Violet is also fiercely independent and determined. Escaping her suffocating mother, she moves to Winchester to start a new life âa change that will require courage, resilience and acts of quiet rebellion. And when whispers of another world war surface, she must live with a secret that could change everythingâŠ
