Clare Lydon has produced one of her most dazzling romances yet, that tells of burning passion, shattered dreams, and ultimately, enduring, endless love.

Ratings and reviews

Clare has yet to disappoint me with one of her books. I have been waiting and waiting for her to write about f/f love in a time when being different was not accepted in society. Not only about love but also about fear of discovery, fear of family rejection and fear of hurting someone you care about. The HEA ending is full of redemption and the miracle of all encompassing love. Thank you Clare for writing this story you knocked it out of the park.

OMG! This book made me nostalgic for my home town. The Dominion, Oxford Circus, The tube, the rain, the dirty streets, the traffic and of course lots and lots of people. OMG now I need pie and mash, and yes, with liquor. It's what makes it special. It a brilliant story of two people in love born in the wrong century. The social attitudes in the 50's was in the stone age literally. The author has written it so well you can feel the love and passion between them. You can also feel and anticipate the reactions of their families. The difference between the families is one traditional working class and one with an open mind. One leading the life she chose which she knew would be difficult. The other bending to her family wishes and lived a life, a good life but not the one she truly wanted. Both having lived truly exceptional lives they meet again after sixty years, and seems the spark is still there. It truly is an inspirational story and I think it's the authors best. I'd also like to thank Clare for reconnecting me with my home town I really believed I was there. Although quite a few years later. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry but it will also blind you with rage at the sadness of it all. All because they were born too early for social injustices to change. It does show us who the true pioneers of equal rights really were. Loved the book. Really well written. Just have a tissue or two handy. Enjoy!

I loved this story of lost love between two women, and that all those years later they reconnected and got together in a world that now accepted their love for one another.
