About this ebook
In this coming-of-age novel, “a treasure trove of good writing and human insight” three friends grapple with romance and women’s suffrage during WWI (The Irish Press).
From the author of the Lu Wilmott series, a stunning saga of friendship, ambition, and love.
Otis Hewetson is seventeen years old, pretty but unconventional and rebellious. She spends the summer of 1911 on a glorious holiday with her parents, and on a quest for independence.
But little does she realize how her new friendships with Jack and Esther will change her life forever. Their paths are destined to cross as they grow from adolescence through to marriage, the fight for women’s rights and the bitter bloodshed of the Great War . . .
“It is encouraging when someone like Betty Burton manages against the odds to become a roaring success.” —The Guardian
