This is the second book in the series about the Rising family. They live in Gloucester. There are 3 daughters named March, April and May. April, the youngest, is about to marry a local man who has come back injured from the war. May is married to Monty who is a music hall actor and they are about to have a child. March has returned home from Bath with her son to live with her parents having left her elderly husband behind.
The story spans quite a few years of the different members of the Rising family, the loves and heartache of the daughters, the frail mother, the adulterous father and also their relationships with some of the members of other local families.
Whilst part way through this book I discovered that I also have 'A Scattering of Daisies' on my bookshelf which is the first book in the series. I also have 'By Sun and Candlelight' and 'Sweeter Than Wine'.
