This is a tumultulous, passionate, fierce story of wartime love. 5/5
— Charlotte Vowden, Daily Express
This is a powerful novel of depth and intensity and one that subtly changes mood from cocktail-and-opium-fuelled larks to despair and degradation.
— Karen Robinson, The Sunday Times
A fiercely imagined and deeply felt story of complicated wartime love.
I could see every scene.
