The Daffodils of Newent
reviewed on + 140 more book reviews


Continuing the story of the Rising Family (the first in the series has two different titles: SCATTERING OF DAISIES or APRIL RISING). They were called the Daffodil Girls, spirited and bright, enduring, loving and dancing their way through the gay and desperate twenties.

APRIL, who married the torured and sexually suspect David Daker, convinced she could blot out his memories of the trenches.

MAY, pregnant by her handsome music-hall star husband, who refused to settle down and become a family man.

MARCH, loved and betrayed by the man who had fathered her child, and who still wanted her, in spite of everything.
