About the Book

If he goes, he will become a killer or be killed. If he stays, he will be imprisoned, perhaps shot.

These are the choices Howard Henderson, brilliant young playwright, faces. He cannot comprehend his fellow man’s eagerness to fight a faceless enemy. He has seen the worst of humanity at the Front; he wants no part of it.

If she follows her heart, she will be disgraced, ostracised. If she follows convention, she will be bored, isolated.

These are the options for debutante Vivian Foster. When war breaks out on her wedding day, her distant, traditionalist husband immediately joins up and she is left alone to create a life on a Derbyshire farm, far from the glittering world she knows.

Amidst the inhumanity of war can beauty be found? Or does Howard and Vivian’s friendship simply present more unbearable alternatives? Go to war or never look your lover in the face again. Save your dearest enemy. Or go to hell.
