In the course of one perfect sunlit afternoon in 1914, as the storm clouds of war gather over Europe, beautiful, fragile May and gentle, idealistic Vincent fall in love. The events set in motion will span decades and change lives forever.Writing with humour and tenderness, Lizzie Bennett evokes a vivid picture of life at the beginning of the twentieth century. In Sweethearts and Soldiers she explores the effects of the Great War on two families who are bound together by the ties of obsessive love and hate, consuming jealousy and enduring friendship.The setting is rural Norfolk, newly industrial Nottingham, – a society where a man is judged by his wealth, however acquired, rather than his lineage or character – war-torn France and London in the 1920s.
