This story spotlights a valuable treasure in a woman?s life ? that of true and abiding friendship.
Kate & Cass became friends as young girls in England and kept their friendship alive through adulthood when they both marry naval officers, had children and began their lives as military families. Though they were not always living in the same location (a standard woe for naval families) they keep close with visits, letters and phone calls.
Kate feel trapped in a loveless marriage. Her husband doesn?t seem to value her- he seems only concerned with how she can make his life better without having any regard for her or her happiness. She feels alone during his frequent and lengthy absences, but she finds her identity when she immerses herself in the upbringing of her twin boys.
Cass loves her husband, but can?t seem to help ?stepping out? on him from time to time, even her four children aren?t enough to keep Cass occupied. She looks forward to the opportunities that come her way whenever her husband has to leave for long stretches while working on a navy submarine ? she finds excitement when near misses threaten to expose her infidelities ? in fact; she seems to thrive on them.
Marcia Willett weaves the tale of these two friends and the events that shape their lives and their devotion to one another, despite the differences they may find with each others? decisions ? the hallmark of a true friend, in my opinion. Willett shows that decisions made for selfish reasons can come back to haunt you and that in the end, the best things in life are true love, family and friendship. Her writing style and her approach to life?s trials is distinctly charming and can make every-day choices seem delightful ? having a cup of tea can become ?have a cuppa?? when asked in Marcia Willett novel.
This is my first time reading one of Willett?s books and it won?t be my last. She is remarkably talented and possesses a distinct literary voice. I?ve found another favorite author in Marcia Willett and I look forward to hearing her stories and reading many of her books.
