Summer of 1911. English society is on the brink of change. The
streets of London ring with cheers for a new king's coronation and
the cries of increasingly violent suffragette protests. Connie
Callaway, fired up by the possibilities of independence, wants more
than the conventional comforts of marriage. Spirited and
courageous, she is determined to fight for 'the greatest cause the
world has ever known'. Will Maitland, the rising star of county
cricket, is a man of traditional opinions. He is both intrigued and
appalled by Connie's outspokenness and her quest for
self-fulfilment. Their lives become inextricably entangled just as
the outbreak of war drives them further apart. Buffeted and spun by
choice and chance, Connie and Will struggle against the aftershocks
of war and the changes it wreaks. This is a deeply affecting story
of love against all the odds.
