My Sweet Valentine

English

By (author): Annie Groves

An emotional portrayal of the lives of four women as Valentines day approaches, in 1941 wartime London

Life brought enough problems and upsets for young hearts, especially young female hearts, without them having to carry the added burden of the war

Tilly is passionately in love with the dashing American journalist, Drew. But he is harbouring a secret that threatens their burgeoning love. At the same time, Dulcies brother Rick walks back into her life, the man who she longed for all those years ago

Agnes is comforted by the loving arms of her caring train driver fiancé Ted. And Sally could not be happier with her talented surgeon boyfriend at her side, especially since hes risked his life to visit her at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve.

For Tillys mother, Olive, the cold heart that had been frozen since her partner died, is beginning to thaw. But the man she pines for is betrothed to another. The net curtains on the well-to-do Article Row have been twitching, and prying eyes have seen the way shes been looking at Sergeant Dawson

When the clock strikes midnight at the Hammersmith Palais, three couples stare deeply into their lovers eyes. The confident and stunningly beautiful East Ender, Dulcie, is left alone once more, abandoned by her boyfriend at this most precious of precious moments.

But the women of No. 13 Article Row know that joy is short lived in the London of 1941. Its a treacherous place, especially for the tender-hearted. As Valentines Day approaches, the perils of war threaten life as they know it and all matters of the heart.
