London, 1942
Flo Canning's heart is beyond repair following the news that she has been dreading since the outbreak of war. As Flo throws herself into the role of fabric manager at Liberty's, old and new friends alike help pull her from a whirl of despair.
Between work and home life there's plenty to keep Flo occupied. Not least new deputy store manager, Henry Masters, whose arrival has consequences that Flo and her workmates could never have foreseen.
But there is more tragedy still to come, and Flo and her friends will need each other more than ever if they are to survive the uncertainty ahead.
Über den Autor Fiona Ford
With a passion for reading from practically the moment she was born; it was inevitable Fiona would become a writer. Sure enough, after studying English Literature at university, Fiona became a journalist before making her move to books where she began ghost writing fiction for celebrities (too famous to name, of course). One day, some bright spark suggested she write her own stories and, suddenly, an idea was born. She lives in Berkshire with her husband and two cats, and has an unhealthy attitude towards exercise and chocolate - believing one must surely cancel out the other.
