The Rest Of Our Lives

The war is now over and people must count the cost. Three women from very different backgrounds meet when they find themselves on Bristol Temple Meads station waiting for the return of their loved ones. EdnaåÀs fianc̩ Colin comes home crippled. CharlotteåÀs doctor husband, who was a loving and gentle father, returns a violent, disturbed man with no love for her and even less for their children. Polly, who is waiting for her GI boyfriend Aaron, is once again disappointed when he doesnåÀt arrive. Adjusting to men who are very changed and, in PollyåÀs case, to no man at all, is the core of this enthralling novel. However, during the war years, the women have had to cope. They too have changed and they harbour secrets that would be best kept . . .
