Alix said it wasn't.
'He's on his way home. I hope they send him to a hospital in town, so we can all go and see him.'
Nonie Maclure shot her a curious glance. She had never known quite how deep the intimacy between these two had gone. She sometimes wondered. She had thought just before the war that it went very deep indeed. But in these present days Alix seemed prepared to play round at large with so many young men, and to flirt, when that was the game, with a light-handed recklessness only exceeded by Nonie herself; and Nonie, of course, was notorious.

i loved this book.
why is Rose Macaulay not better known and more widely read?! Or, should I say, why hadn't I ever read or heard anything about this amazing writer?!
why is this book not a classic of sorts?
i am not a fan of wwi or wwii books--but this was a beautiful, beautiful book.
beautiful.
Anti war World War I
The war at its depths before the U. S. became an ally in 1916, ending the year 1915 with the thoughts of divers people, mostly non-combatants.
The individuals concerned were frustrated with the war and the loss and the futility.
Very well written, very interesting.
Why does anyone
I thought this was just an ok book. I would not recommend it unless some is seriously interested in the Great War and its affects on English women. I thing the most insightful character in the book was Nicholas, the protagonist's elder brother. So if you bother to read this novel, pay close attentio
There is a bit of pointless meandering near the end of the book where she seems to lose focus, so not quite a 5 star effort - but if you need to be reminded about what a horrific waste of life WWI was, this is a must-read. There's some fairly pitiless skewering of stupid young women, too.
