Sweethearts and Soldiers
by Lizzie Bennett

A vivid story, elegantly told, of three sisters and their adventures in rural Norfolk and newly industrial Nottingham before and after the First World War.

Evoking a time which changed everyone’s life – sometimes in unexpected ways – this poignant novel tenderly follows the passions, hopes and disappointments of a generation.

Heart-rending and intriguing by turn, Sweethearts and Soldiers catches at the emotions and won’t let go. It’s one of those subtly powerful novels which grip by silken threads, and one where the characters – compelling and very real – stay in the mind long after you finish reading.
