I’ve always enjoyed this author through her sailing yarns, her crime and now an historical novel. The jealousies, hardship and mistrust of the men returning from war and the attitudes, particularly between the sexes, are beautifully handled. The historical detail is fascinating, I learned a lot about the Polish army. The whole thing builds in an eerie tale of suspicion. I loved it.
