So Much Life Left Over
At the dawn of the 1920s, Rosie and Daniel move to Ceylon with their small daughter to start a new life, attempting to put the trauma of the First World War – and its effects on their marriage – behind them.
Back in England, Rosie's sisters are dealing with impossible challenges in their searches for family, purpose and happiness. These are precarious times, and they find themselves taking unconventional means to achieve what they want. Around them the world changes, and events in Germany take a dark and forbidding turn. And soon there is no going back . . .
Review
"De Bernieres is a singular, cherishable voice" (Mail on Sunday)
"Richly enjoyable...Written with such vitality...many readers will read it straight through forgetting whatever it was they should have been doing instead of reading" (Scotsman)
"This tragicomic romp has a winning glint in its eye, delivering oodles of
Downton-esque entertainment as it portrays a changing Britain poised uneasily on the brink of modernity." (Mail on Sunday)
"A breathless, often heart-tugging tale of love, loss, guilt and regret" (Sunday Express)
"This book made me laugh, made me mad, made me cry" (Rose Shepherd Saga)
