Can you ever let go of the past? Two women unhappy with their lives seize a chance to start over during a WWII bombing raid, in this dramatic and suspenseful novel.

London, 1944: As bombs start raining from the sky, two women rush out of a restaurant, leaving their possessions behind. Their chance meeting amid the chaos and destruction will have long-lasting consequences. Both beset by desperate problems, they take advantage of the wartime chaos to escape their humdrum lives and start again. .

Sticking together, the pair live under the radar, using a stolen ration book to feed themselves and relying on a street kid's help to get by. Cecil eventually finds work, while glamorous, feckless Claude looks after the flat-or doesn't. Gradually their friendship sours and resentment creeps in. Just as Cecil is wondering whether she should ever have trusted Claude in the first place, she makes a shocking discovery-one that will expose a web of secrets, lead to an act of violence, and set the two on separate and very different paths.
