Sequel to the acclaimed Changing Patterns and Pattern of Shadows. It’s 1969 and Mary Schormann is living quietly in Wales with her ex-POW husband, Peter, and her teenage twins, Richard and Victoria. Her niece, Linda Booth, is a nurse – following in Mary’s footsteps – and works in the maternity ward of her local hospital in Lancashire.
At the end of a long night shift, a bullying new father visits the maternity ward and brings back Linda’s darkest nightmares, her terror of being locked in. Who is this man, and why does he scare her so? There are secrets dating back to the war that still haunt the family, and finding out what lies at their root might be the only way Linda can escape their murderous consequences.
My Thoughts:
I have not read the two previous books in this series so I went into the story not knowing much. I love the era it is set in all the mini skirts and vespas, it is written with lots of lovely descriptions, I couldn’t put the book down. The story follows a large family who see tragedy, trials and tribulations. I definitely want to read the previous two books now.
