An outstanding novel of romance and grief in the aftermath of the Great War From a comfortable childhood in Edwardian Yorkshire, through the pain and grief of the First World War, Edwina dreamed of Men on White Horses. But the Age of Chivalry was dead. After the cataclysm, nothing could ever be the same again - and even Italy in the twenties, with its promise of romance and fulfilment, seemed to proclaim an end of hope. Redolent of a lost era, rich in drama and characterisation, the fabulous novel by the award-winning author of A Kind Of War.
