Publisher's Synopsis
Three women...three decades...three wrong choices? It's 1999 and Allie falls in love with the man she was going to leave before he was diagnosed with cancer... In the 1960s Frieda behaves in a wholly unconventional way as a chamber maid in a Knightsbridge hotel, where she meets and befriends a tortured young singer... And in the 1950s twelve-year-old Lucy - precocious, impatient, wise beyond her years - becomes a go-between for two star-crossed lovers, and then holds herself agonisingly responsible for what happens...
