AS THE WAR CHANGES EVERYTHING, WILL THEIR BOND HOLD STRONG?
They were just schoolgirls – evacuees – when they first met the Reid brothers.
Berry was the one who dazzled them – handsome, funny, he symbolized that golden summer of the war working together on the farm. Then their world collapsed around them.
Morag, the strongest and quietest of the three girls, lost everything she held dear in one savage bombing. Vallery’s beloved brother was killed in the desert war, and Jannie – well, Jannie had never had much to start with but a wayward father and a disinterested mother, but still, she had Morag and Vallery.
When the Reid boys returned from the war it was Berry who had changed. Damaged both in mind and body, he held the dream of Morag in his mind, even though it was Vallery he married.
As they settled to a life in the remote cliff-side Abbey, away from everyone, so the old ties between the three girls and the Reid brothers grew more intense, more confused – and Morag, Vallery and Jannie discovered that Berry still had the power to draw them all to him…
