Three sisters

The Great War

The end of innocence...

In 1913, in a quiet corner of London, the three Fry sisters are coming of age, dreaming of all the possibilities the bright future offers. But when war erupts their innocence is shattered and a new era of uncertainty begins.

Cecelia loves Max but his soldier's uniform is German, not British, and suddenly the one man she loves is the one man she can't have.

Jessie enlists in the army as a nurse and finally finds the adventure she's craved when she's sent to Gallipoli and Egypt, but it comes with an unimaginable cost.

Etta elopes to Capri with her Italian love, Carlo, but though her growing bump is real, her marriage certificate is a lie.

As the three sisters embark on journeys they never could have imagined, their mother Christina worries about the harsh new realities they face, and what their exposure to the wider world means for the secrets she's been keeping...

Praise for Adrienne Chinn:

`What a fantastic book! The reader is swept on a whirlwind journey across Europe, from Capri to London to Egypt and beyond' Kathleen McGurl, author of The Girl from Bletchley Park

`Stunning, a sublime tale of secrets, strong women and turbulent times...I absolutely adored it' Clare Marchant

Love in a Time of War by Adrienne Chinn is a compelling historical romance that explores the trials and tribulations of love in the 20th century. The military sagas that unfold in this top-tier historical fiction are as captivating as they are poignant.
