About the Book
WHEN KITTY CLARKE learned her husband re-enlisted for a second term of duty on completion of his National Service, it left her marriage hanging by a thread. The prospect of five more years on her own verified what she had suspected for a long time; Harold was married to the Army, not to her! On a girl’s night out, Kitty reawakens her friendship with the affluent and charming Bert Bradey and when he asks her to dance, she accepts. Several dances later they retire to the lounge bar, during the conversation that follows, Kitty attributes her husband’s decision to re-enlist as the motivation to escape her lonely existence. Not only does Bert tell her how he feels, but also offers her an escape - unfortunately, it comes at a price. Regardless of Bert’s condition, Kitty accepts.
