But their true story is one of passion- suffragist activists who fell in love at a rally in the 1900s, danced in London's secret gay clubs between the wars, and comforted one another during the first night of the Blitz.  Together they have built a life of quiet dignity and service in rural England.  Now over the course of one pivotal day their carefully constructed world begins to fracture. Through Beatrix s wry perspective we witness the severe impact of post-war changes on their peaceful existence. Changes that will lead to heart-breaking decisions for Miss Veal and Miss Ham. At the heart of this intimate, moving and witty novel is a story of resilience, the dignity of love that cannot be spoken, and the challenges that come when the future no longer feels safe.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47839614697630,"sku":"UBD-9781838340100","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781838340100.jpg?v=1781075560","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781838340100","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
