Publisher's Synopsis
In 1960s Portsmouth, best friends Clare and Kathy have committed themselves to a life as naval wives. Their story is one of love and marriage, of temptation, infidelity and forgiveness, of the friendshp of women and the loyalty of men, of everyday struggles and great passions. Their menfolk, Martyn and Brian, battle with the contrast between the freedom of life at sea, and the comparative claustrophobia of family existence. This story of men and women facing the ultimate challenge in marriage, unfolds against a background of the warmth, gossip and jealousies of a naval community.
