Summary
This novel bounces between small town America and war-torn Europe in 1940, weaving together the stories of three very different women who are loosely tied to each other: single, 40-year-old postmistress Iris James, young newlywed Emma Trask, and American reporter Frankie Bard. Bard is an American radio reporter who delivers powerful and personal accounts from the London Blitz and elsewhere in Europe. While Emma waits for the return of her husband?a volunteer doctor stationed in England?James comes across a letter with valuable information that she chooses to hide.
