-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summer, 1919: Constance Haverhill is forced to relinquish her beloved job - and cottage - at the estate she helped to run during the war.

Instead, she's sent as an old lady's companion to Hazelbourne-on-Sea, where she meets Poppy, a trouser-wearing local who runs a ladies' motorcycle (and, hopefully soon, flying) club, and Harris, her recalcitrant but handsome brother - a pilot wounded in battle - who warms in Constance's presence, among the other colourful inhabitants of this sunny pocket of high society.

But things are increasingly complicated. As the country prepares to celebrate peace, the women of the club are forced to confront the fact that the freedoms gained during the war are being revoked.

In a timeless comedy of manners, with sharp humour, biting wit and a warm heart, Simonson captures the mood of a generation facing the seismic changes brought on by war.
