SPRING HOUSE (PB)

In 1915, Miranda Gray is struggling to find her wartime role. Is she stoic wife of a distant military man, duty-bound nurse, society hostess, reluctant muse to a pacifist poet, a mother, a sister, a daughter, or some amalgamation of all? Gradually, as the war brings death and destruction to those closest to her, Miranda is offered a glimpse of something beyond these stilted roles - a chance at real love. A deftly written psychological portrait which reveals the slow birth of modernity and the new woman.
