Book description
Disasters, disappointments, dashed hopes ... Doesn't seem that
easy, just to find a good man, love him and be loved back. But I
shan't give up trying.
The war is over, but life goes on for Land Girls Prue, Stella
and Ag. While two of the girls are married, Prue, the incorrigible
flirt, has no one and is engaged in a quest for a man to provide her
with security and gold taps.
A year after the girls leave Hallows Farm, Prue finds just such
a man and a marriage that protects her from the hardships of post-war
Manchester. But she still hankers for the life she so loved as a Land
Girl, though it's hard to get work on the sort of farm that provided
unimaginable happiness during the war. The lives of her two old
friends, Stella and Ag, have moved on and neither visit her.
Additionally Prue finds that her newly wedded state and fresh horizons
fail to supply the answers she seeks. Yet, in the puzzling world
beyond the fields, Prue, in her indomitable way, open as ever to each
chance encounter, remains buoyant, optimistic and quite sure that the
life she imagines is just round yet another corner.
