Summary
In the idyllic summer of 1912, all seems rosy for Murdo Drummond and his four children. Charlotte is ecstatically in love with Geoffrey; Peter prepares for the day when he will inherit the family distillery, while Andrew, gregarious and fun-loving, is already turning heads and hearts. Nell, the youngest, contents herself with daydreams of a handsome highlander. The Great War, however, has no respect for family life. As those carefree pre-war days fade, with death and devastation brought in their wake, the Drummonds are plunged into the horrors of the trenches in France. Yet those who survive discover that love can transcend class, creed, and country.
Review
Another book I picked up from the charity shop =] I liked the cover and love reading novels set in the UK (I was born there =]) . I knew it was a romance for starters but didn't actually imagine it would be so explicit , well not "shockingly" explicit but not a book I'd recommend for teens .. anyhow because I felt for the characters so much I kept on reading and really enjoyed it . Like I said I love the setting , the old British ways , I sometimes wish to have lived in that era ( as a high class obviously haha) .
I loved that the female characters came out so strong , more then the male characters .
Interesting fact I found out that Emma Blair is actually a man Iain Blair , following his agents advice who said he would sell much more if he used a woman's name instead ..
So my conclusion , I actually missed reading this book when I finished (but apparently there is a sequel "Goodnight, Sweet Prince".) I give this book a 3/5 and if I saw this author's name again on a book I'd definitely take it home with me =]
