In Book Two of the Dace family saga war has been declared but, for the people of Britain, it is something of a non-event. Fireplaces are blocked up and theatres are closed down as the country prepares for the worst, and yet the Germans remain a distant threat. Herr Hitler clearly has other fish to fry before he turns his attention to the green and pleasant land across the Channel.Nevertheless, in Worthing, battle is raging between husband and wife. Hiding a terrible secret, Benjamin and Clarice continue their conflict. The Home Front might be quiet for now but there are frequent skirmishes on the sex front. Clarice, however, keeps her defences resolutely intact. For a single, chaste kiss is enough to convince her that she is now in love. With Bill, her Canadian soldier. But she is still a wife and mother, with all the complications and emotional entanglements that involves, and, anyway, the war has a nasty habit of thwarting her desires. And, in the end, it will take a bombshell to bring things to a head!
