From Booklist
World War I is the catalyst for change for residents of England's Durham City. Erin Marsden's brother was killed, leaving her the only child of working-class parents. She secretly promises to wed her brother's old friend but agrees to marry Sir Angus Ballantine. He is older and badly wounded, but all Erin can see is his palatial house. Allan Jamieson was a popular barrister prior to his stint in the war but now is melancholy and unapproachable. When Erin is accused of murdering her husband, Allan is persuaded to represent her. Banned from his wife's bed, Allan and Erin, who feels she needs to offer herself to men to ensure their approval, begin a highly unethical affair. Had it not been for the war, neither of them would have come to this state. Their story and the stories of their acquaintances are compelling reasons for readers to lose themselves in Gill's well-crafted and gripping tale. Maria Hatton
