A Song for Tomorrow
Nurse Carol Manson was devoted to her work as District Nurse to a group of small villages in the Midlands. The rest of her time and attention was given to her invalid mother and a younger sister, and so Carol had persuaded herself she could find happiness without love.
This conclusion was changed, however, by the arrival of a new veterinary surgeon, for Carol realized she was falling in love with the newcomer. And when an old love re-appeared on the scene, Carol's life became very complicated indeed.

'A Song for Tomorrow' was published in 1964 but really has more of a 1950's by-the-home-fire ambience, rather than any Mary Quant/Tiggy/ Beatles vibe. In short; the book is a truly old-fashioned read, even for the genre, and I'm giving it a 3 star vintage romance rating, although, if pressed I'd say it hovers more around the 2 3/4 star mark, not because it's poorly written - it's not - but rather because the various plot and sub-plot threads woven through the story-line don't tie together particularly convincingly.
Key instances of these slight plot deficiencies are:
- the hero never mentioning the unanswered letters he penned as a young man to the heroine - in keeping with his character you'd expect, at the very least, he makes some sarcastic remark about it
- the sudden volte face by the embittered veterinary surgeon/ 'other man' character when he is reunited with the heroine's wayward/heart-breaker step-sister (who randomly keeps cadging cash from the heroine who herself borrows it all - ironically - from the vet/ 'other man'/ half sisters spurned suitor)
- a very belated mention of the hero's (unseen) son from his previous marriage along with a casual aside from the hero explaining that, prior to her demise, his ex-wife had abandoned him along with the child
Hmmn, I feel the 'jury is out' for me so far as this title is concerned...
