Leaves Before The Storm
No one can escape the tragedies of war… When Megan marries into the Lockwood family of Folly House during the Easter of 1939, she believes that the rumblings of war in Europe cannot touch her life in the peace of the New Forest. But the winds of war blow, scattering family and friends in all directions, like so many leaves before the storm, and Megan is forced to cope with disappointment in love, illicit passion, and the terrible tragedy of war, only to realise, as life unfolds, that peace and happiness can be found in the strangest of places. Angela Arney was born in Hampshire, where she still lives with her husband. She has been a teacher, a hospital administrator and a cabaret singer.

Great story!
I really enjoyed this book a lot. The writing was fantastic and the story kept me hanging on every word. It’s one of those “sweeping sagas” but subtly so. The characters are very well developed and inspired a lot of empathy. I can’t say enough good things about this wonderful book.
