Today I share with you, the phenomenal ‘A Woman’s Place’ by Diana Lyndhurst. This novel hit me unexpectedly. Diana appeared in my Instagram world @dianalyndhurstauthor where I found her book, and was immediately intrigued. The early 1900s is an era that fascinates me, and stumbling across Diana’s book was like finding gold. The unexpected challenges her heroines face are inspirational and heroic. Whether you are a fan of ‘historical’ fiction or not, I highly recommend A Woman’s Place.
Blurb excerpt from Booktopia online:A Woman’s Place by Diana Lyndhurst
'THE WAR IS OVER. THE OLD RULES ARE CHANGING. SO WHERE EXACTLY IS A WOMAN'S PLACE ANYMORE?'
London, 1919 Jessie just wants the same opportunities in peacetime as she had during the war. World-weary from her experiences serving as an ambulance driver on the Western front, she returns to England, hoping the contributions women made throughout the war will be rewarded. But when she attempts to enter the political fray, she is faced with hostility and backlash at every turn. How much is she willing to risk to see her dreams realised? Now chatelaine of Hamilton Park, Adeline longs for things to return to normal. But her husband, Edward, has been profoundly changed by his wartime experiences, and Adeline is forced to step into his place as she tries to save the family estate from being demolished. Meanwhile, her daughter Alexa, wants nothing more than to forget about the war and enjoy herself. When she meets Lord Stephen de Courcy, she thinks she has met the man of her dreams, only to find out too late she has made a grave mistake.
