Legacy of Greyladies - Anna Jacobs

Wiltshire, December 1915: Olivia Harbury is widowed and has been persuaded by her cousin Donald to move in with his meek, obedient wife while he is serving in France. When he's wounded, he returns home to convalesce, but tensions rise between him and lively Olivia. Her friend Babs involves her in starting new Women's Institutes and introduces her to Alex, an antiques dealer. Meanwhile, Phoebe Latimer is holding the fort at Greyladies, an ancient manor house, while her husband is away at war. But someone is attempting to rid Greyladies of the German internees based there, and the culprit's nasty tricks put Phoebe's life and that of her unborn child at risk. A chance meeting brings Olivia to Greyladies, and Alex joins her there. Can the three help one another through such troubled times?
