Publisher's Synopsis
The third book in the DAUGHTERS OF A GRANITE LAND trilogy Polly and Juniper are close friends but sometimes find it hard to get along, particularly where men are concerned. Yet when the outbreak of war finds them stranded in France with Hitler's armies at their heels, they find strength in each other, escaping by sea thanks to Juniper's grand connections. Despite their mothers' mutual hatred and continued interference, the two girls share a house in Belgravia for much of the war and enjoy the high life. The horrors that surround them are forgotten in a haze of cocktails, dancing and young men living for the moment. But before long Juniper's reckless behaviour becomes too much for Polly and one betrayal too many forces her out into the blacked-out night...
