In 1937, with Britain preparing for war, eighteenyearold Libby Shakespeare finds employment as a shorthand typist at the offices of a Black Country steelworks. There, she meets Bunty, the daughter of wealthy steel magnate Charles Burgayne, and they become best friends. When Libby is brought to Charless attention, he comes to admire her competence, while his sons Edward and Hugh admire her vivacious looks and likeable personality. Despite her lowly background, both brothers vie for her attention, but using vastly different methods. Libby grows to love one brother and despise the other, with disastrous consequences for everybody. NANCY CARSON brilliantly weaves together fact, fiction and history in a gripping tale of love, desire, treachery and tragedy. Set against the backdrop of World War Two, the unexpected twists and turns enjoyed by Nancys fans are in abundance.
