What People Say: 

"This was just an enjoyable book. I have read it three times and will read again in the future. It takes place in war torn England and it is beautifully written. It has romance, drama, mystery and all the elements of a good book. There is murder, deception and love. The story is never dull and the characters are likable and believable." - E. Arment

"A very enjoyable read that takes you through a son's fight to avoid the suffocating love of his mother. Set at the eve of World War II." - Judith Orlopp
