Set in Kent and Italy, this is the moving story of the lives of sisters Poppy and Isobel.
1918: WWI has just ended and the young sisters both fall in love with Kit, an injured airman - Poppy with an adolescent love, and Isobel with an adult love. Poppy is devastated when Kit and Isobel elope - Isobel is pregnant and they go to Italy.
Italy 1928: Isobel, after ten years of silence, suddenly writes to Poppy asking her to come and visit - she needs help. Isobel had miscarried her first child and things in Italy hadn't come up to her naïve and romanticised expectations - they had no money...
However, Kit and Isobel now have a son, Robbie, and she is pregnant again - but depressed and miserable.
The presence of a French woman, Eloise, seems strange to Poppy and is clearly the crux of Isobel's problems. Poppy discovers that Eloise has a strange hold on Kit and is determined to damage everything he loves. Poppy, still in love with Kit in her way, decides to get to the bottom of things.

Spine chippedEditorial Reviews From A udioFile A predictable novel, with little description to transpor t the listener, is read nicely by Jan Francis. Young Poppy Brooke s befriends a stranger, an injured WWI veteran and artist, in the woods near her home. He proceeds to run away with her sister, Is obel. Ten years later, and a lot of water over the dam, Poppy goe s to Italy to visit her sister. There she discovers a mysterious Frenchwoman, an adorable child, her drugged sister, and a handsom e Frenchman. Jan Francis does a fine job interpreting the various voices. She's a much better reader than the novel she's been ask ed to interpret. B.H.B. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This tex t refers to the cassette edition. Codice articolo 1222am
