In 1915 the first euphoria of the war has worn off, but the nation is more determined than ever to win. When Ned is sent to the Front ahead of his battalion, Jessie, already involved in various charity works, feels the need to do more and becomes an auxiliary nurse. But life on the wards is harder than she expects. Meanwhile, Helen and Jack settle in a home of their own at last, and Helen takes on a surprise war role of her own. And for Violet in London, a chance meeting with talented young artist threatens to destroy her calm and ordered life. With stalemate on the Eastern Front, everything now hangs on the new September offensive on the Western Front, the Battle of Loos. Both Ned and Bertie will be leading their men over the top, leaving the rest of the family to pray for their safe return.… (mais)

Another solid addition to the reliable Morland Dynasty series, this time set during World War I. The battle scenes are as well written as always, but I found the scenes from the home front more interesting in this installment. I'm a little disappointed in the direction one character's story took, only because it follows a pattern that has become too predictable in this series.

Complete review at Shelf Love. (

I love this historical fiction series which follows the stories of generations from the same family home in England. This volume in the series finds the women grappling with how to make a difference and reconcile their ambitions with their place in society and their relationships with various other men & women. Everyone in the story struggles with the changing economy and the ugliness of the trench fighting during first world war. (

Another year in the First World War for the Morlands. This focuses less on the battlefield than the previous book- we hear more about Jessie nursing and what Violet and Venetia are up to. Once again, the battle scenes are highly detailed. I was a little upset that the Anzac only rated a couple of paragraphs, but I suppose this is the English version of history- Aussies would say (a lot) more about the 'heavy losses' at Anzac Cove. (

BOOK ONE
Embarkation

The gorse upon the twilit down,
The English loan so sunset brown,
The bowed pines and the sheep-bells' clamour,
The wet, lit lane and the yellow-hammer,
The orchard and the chaffinch song
Only to the Brave belong.
And he shall lose their joy for aye
If their price he cannot pay.
Who shal find them dearer far
Enriched by blood after long war

Robert Nichols, 'At the Wars'

BOOK TWO
At The Front

The green and grey and purple day is barred with clouds of dun
From Ypres city smouldering before the setting sun.
Another hour will see it flower, lamentable sight,
A bush of burning roses underneath the night.

Charles Scott-Moncrieff, 'Domum'

BOOK THREE
In Action

My share of fourscore years and ten
I'll gladly yield to any man,
And take no thought of 'where' or 'when',
Contented with my shorter span,
For I have learned what love may be,
And found a heart that understands,
And known a comrade's constancy,
And felt the grip of friendly hands.

Richard Molesworth Dennys, 'Better Far To Pass Away'
