‘So glittering is the overall parade – and so entertaining the surface – that the trilogy remains excitingly vivid’ – Sunday Times

Athens, 1941. Harriet Pringle feverishly awaits news of her husband, trapped in the spoilt city of Bucharest. Yet when the young couple are reunited, Guy once again becomes absorbed in his work, leading Harriet to seek the attention of a handsome young officer.
