The Butter Cross

HAMPSHIRE, 1919

The Great War is over. But shell-shocked Harry Oliver, MC carries it with him wherever he goes...  


This novel, set in the chalk downland  of southern England in the immediate aftermath of the war, explores  themes of courage, the physical and psychological wounds of war;  healing, love and redemption.  


Filled with period detail, an evocative sense of time and place, and rising suspense, this is more than a love  story - it is a work of deeply compassionate insight and feeling.  You  will put it down at the end with regret that it is over, caring about the characters like dear friends. 


Fortunately, a sequel is in the works - Tin Noses Shop. Contact me for  information if you've come to love Helen, Harry, Winifred and Nigel!
