Synopsis

Autumn, 1962. The market town of Everham in Hampshire is bubbling with rumours. Dr Leigh McDowall is after a woman who doesn't return his affections. In fact, Shelagh Hammond is helplessly infatuated with another doctor. But she's also busy caring for her mother Bridget who has a secret of her own. Meanwhile, Reverend Derek Bolt is troubled by the unwanted attentions of a female parishioner and confides in head teacher Jeremy North. But Jeremy's home life is in disarray and feeling lost he turns to a hospital sister for comfort. As their stories intertwine, conflicts erupt into lifechanging decisions and scandals. Set against the back-drop of the Profumo affair that rocked Britain, Everham's own politics reach a dramatic crescendo.

Author Bio
MAGGIE BENNETT was born in Hampshire and worked as a nurse and midwife until her retirement in 1991. Having been an avid reader and scribbler since childhood, she first began to approach her writing seriously after her husband's death in 1983. She enjoyed modest success with articles and short stories before the publication of a medical romance in 1992, which won that year's RNA New Writers' Award, and she wrote six more before turning to mainstream fiction in 1996. Maggie has two grown-up daughters and a grandson, and lives in Suffolk.
