About this ebook
An unputdownable drama from the bestselling author of The Girl With No Name.
Wynsdown, 1949. In the small Somerset village of Wynsdown, Charlotte Shepherd is happily married and now feels settled in her adopted home after arriving from Germany on the Kindertransport as a child during the war.
Meanwhile, the squire's fighter pilot son, Felix, has returned to the village with a fiancée in tow. Daphne is beautiful, charming... and harbouring secrets. After meeting during the war, Felix knows some of Daphne's past, but she has worked hard to conceal one that could unravel her carefully built life.
For Charlotte, too, a dangerous past is coming back in the shape of fellow refugee, bad boy Harry Black. Forever bound by their childhoods, Charlotte will always care for him, but Harry's return disrupts the village quiet and it's not long before gossip spreads.
The war may have ended, but for these girls, trouble is only just beginning.

Reviews for The Married Girls
8 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Kind of soapy tale about lives in a small English village immediately after WWII. The segments that aren't cliché (the scheming lower-class girl who marries for money & status; the sweet young wife who thinks she's left childhood trauma behind her; the gossipy postmistress) are irrelevant (a subplot about London gangsters and an out-of-village romance).
