The 1920s: a time of hope, promise - and parties. But not all the men came home, after The War.

Meet the spare brides.

Young, gorgeous - and unexpectedly alone.

Ava relishes the freedom of being single.
Sarah fears no one can replace her hero husband.
Beatrice finds it hard to shine, next to her dazzling friends.
And Lydia is married, rich, privileged: so isn't she one of the lucky ones?

Then a chance encounter changes everything.

Angry, damaged and dangerously attractive, Edgar Trent is an irresistable temptation.

And the old rules no longer apply...

Review:

A wonderful book about a group of women struggling to deal with life after World War One. Bright young things and disappointed hopes, it is a heady cocktail of love, class and beaded frocks. Her most accomplished novel yet (Daisy Goodwin)

There are some seriously fab frocks in Adele Parks' latest novel. Dramatic and swooningly romantic, this is historical fiction with real heart (Marie Claire)

[Adele Parks'] love of the era shines through in this big romantic tale (Woman & Home)

A total smash (Heat)

Want a moving and thought-provoking book about love to warm you up for Valentine's Day? Set in the roaring '20s after WW1, it tells the story of four women trying to find happiness despite tragedy (Look Magazine)

You'll love the drama, the gorgeous dresses, grand houses and, in particular, the handsome but damaged love interest (Good Housekeeping)

A wonderfully absorbing tale of friendship, rich in period detail (Stylist)

A fantastic read (Fabulous Magazine)
