March, the eldest, the most difficult, loves but cannot trust her clever, manipulative husband. He deserted her once and she has never quite forgiven him.May has her own worries - a son who seems more than usually promiscuous, and a husband who grows more attractive and handsome as she approaches her fortieth birthday.April has a husband she loves, and two small, gentle daughters. But she is the only one who knows that Davina is not her husband's child.

Reviews

[Lynn Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5* Bk 3 in this saga of the Rising family. An engrossing inter-generational drama now moving on through the 1930s.
Engaging characters, well plotted storyline and overall, a good romantic historical drama series. Had to carry on to the next book to see what happened to the characters and was sad to leave the Rising family behind when I finished the subsequent novels, it felt like saying goodbye to friends.
