Disasters, disappointments, dashed hopes ... Doesn't seem that
easy, just to find a good man, love him and be loved back. But I
shan't give up trying. The war is over, but life goes on for Land
Girls Prue, Stella and Ag. While two of the girls are married,
Prue, the incorrigible flirt, has no one and is engaged in a quest
for a man to provide her with security and gold taps. A year after
the girls leave Hallows Farm, Prue finds just such a man and a
marriage that protects her from the hardships of post-war
Manchester. But she still hankers for the life she so loved as a
Land Girl, though it's hard to get work on the sort of farm that
provided unimaginable happiness during the war. The lives of her
two old friends, Stella and Ag, have moved on and neither visit
her. Additionally Prue finds that her newly wedded state and fresh
horizons fail to supply the answers she seeks. Yet, in the puzzling
world beyond the fields, Prue, in her indomitable way, open as ever
to each chance encounter, remains buoyant, optimistic and quite
sure that the life she imagines is just round yet another corner.

entertaining' Tatler 'Huth is a master of this sort of novel,
steeped in period atmosphere and gentle irony' Daily Telegraph 'A
good story, told with wit and a keen observation of detail' Times
