Description:
**FROM THE ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF *** **THE LAST PEARL** *** AND THE CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER****, this is a beautiful and dramatic novel about family secrets, wartime betrayal and redemption.**
When **Isobel Morton** takes over the café in Lichfield’s market square, she has big plans. Soon renamed The Victory Café, with a menu that delights despite rations, the girls who work at the Vic are swept away by Belle’s lust for life.
Among the regular customers is a trio of soldiers from the nearby American base and waitress **Dorrie Goodman** soon befriends them, learning about jazz and romance in the process. But the stifling morality of a Midlands town in the 40s cannot accommodate such a friendship; jealously, hatred and the weight of public disapproval combine to precipitate a tragedy.
**It is not until many years after the war that friendship and reconciliation can begin to heal the wounds of the past …**
**Praise for Leah Fleming**
'I enjoyed it enormously.It's a moving and compelling story about a lifetime's journey in search of the truth' **RACHEL HORE**
'A born storyteller' **KATE ATKINSON**
