Book description
Rose and Antonia had a good war. As WAAF plotters, they had all the
excitement and independence of a difficult and dangerous job, and all
the fun of being two women on an RAF base.
Peacetime is a disappointment. There is rationing, shortages, and
nothing to do. Rosie's war-hero husband has turned into a brutal lout:
Antonia, bored with her rich manufacturer, wants to move to America
with her lover. Neither can afford a divorce. But what are plotters
for, if not to plot? And Antonia's ruthless scheme would give them
both what they want.
If Rosie doesn't lose her nerve, they could get away with murder ...
