Bristol, 1945. The war has come to an end, and the men are returning home to their loved ones, but for some, things have changed. Charlotte Hennessey-White's husband, David, is no longer the gentle, loving man he once was, and Charlotte, who was so independent during the war, is devastated. Edna Burbage's strong fiancée, Colin, has suffered appalling physical injuries, and he refuses to hold her to her promise of marriage, but she insists her feelings are unchanged. But is that true? Is she marrying him out of love or pity? And Polly Chandler's sweetheart, Gavin, who she had planned her whole future around, has not come home at all.

War and suffering have altered their men, leaving the women to cope on their own. But they, too, are changed. They harbor secrets best kept hidden, which could do untold damage to these already fragile lives.
