'If the Army wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued one' Old soldiers saying
Joanna, Honor, Amy - three fresh young brides embrace their soldier husbands in the fateful June of 1950. As they walk beneath the ceremonial arch of drawn sabres, their present happiness is complete. A bare fortnight later their men are called to war - and so begins the conflict between duty and love, honour and happiness that is to shape their lives...In war and in peace, across a quarter of our century, Thomas Fleming's epic novel tells a story of spell-binding scope and complexity.
