More about the book

Set in the winter of 1952, Isabel Carey grapples with loneliness as her husband, a doctor, spends long hours away from home. Her discovery of an old RAF greatcoat leads to vivid dreams and the unexpected arrival of Alec, a charismatic RAF pilot. Their intense affair brings excitement but also unearths truths about Alec's life that challenge Isabel's understanding of love and loyalty. The story explores themes of desire, vulnerability, and the complexities of relationships against the backdrop of post-war Britain.
