Produktbeschreibung
It is 1999, the year of the Millennium. Meet six unforgettable characters in this gripping, emotional novel and immerse yourself in their struggles, dilemmas, and dreams. How will sheltered young wife Louisa cope with her alcoholic husband while raising their rambunctious twins? Can aging rocker Kieran leave behind the adoring fans and packed mega stadiums of his youth? Can Roland and Hope breathe new life into their marriage when each has strong feelings for another? Can emotionally damaged Violet accept a painful truth about her past-and will shy, awkward Len ever win her heart? Rosemary Oxenford renders each of these characters with insight, compassion, and a touch of gentle humour. She takes the reader from bohemian Southwark and upscale Islington to a village in the ancient Wiltshire Downs where, on the eve of the new century, an unexpected project brings all six characters together-with life-changing consequences.
