註釋Two officers’ wives lean on their friendship to cope with loneliness, temptation, and tragedy in this absorbing novel by the author of The Sea Garden.

“Soul mates since their childhood days at a British boarding school, Kate Webster and Cassandra Wivenhoe both marry naval officers who spend much of their time away from hearth and home. While stalwart Kate attempts to manufacture a loving family despite her rigid, emotionally abusive husband, the more free-spirited Cass embarks upon a series of extramarital affairs that culminate in tragedy. As the years pass and Kate and Cass move from girlhood into womanhood and motherhood, the one thing they can always count on is unconditional support from each other . . . Willett, like Maeve Binchy, has a knack for gently drawing readers into the unexpected depths of the lives of seemingly ordinary characters.” —Booklist
