Set in the UK, this story zeroes in on the quickening change within the expectations placed upon women during the 1930s. The severe casualties brought upon by the past war and the impending one will come to embolden women who will leave behind their pacificity and take on new and unexpected roles. Worth reading.

1932. After the Great War took both her beloved brother and her fiancé, Violet Speedwell has become a "surplus woman," one of a generation doomed to a life of spinsterhood after the war killed so many young men.
Am familiar with this author, having read some and still a couple on my shelf, and this is large print, so had to rake it.

I have read and greatly enjoyed other works by Chevalier, so was looking forward to it. But I come away a little disappointed. She managed to include issues of the era’s expectations (or lack thereof) of women, and a lesbian couple’s struggles to find acceptance. She also includes the beginnings of the Nazi party with Hitler’s rise to power and hints at what is coming.
