An “Edwardian soap opera” of divided family loyalties that “most will enjoy, especially those who have been following the Harvey family” saga (Booklist). The Great War is over, and the Harvey family of Ford Farm are slowly picking up the pieces. But Alec and Emilia’s newly-wedded bliss is shattered when their third child is born with a life-threatening disease, a fate which Alec finds particularly hard to accept. Alec’s relationships with his two brothers, Ben and Tristram, are strained by their differing loyalties and ambitions for the farm, and Emilia is torn reluctantly between them . . . The second of the gripping Harvey family sagas from the masterful Gloria Cook.
