Description: The spellbinding story of three women who work at the Cadbury factory in Bournville ... At the age of nineteen Edie has lost her husband and child, and faces World War II grieving and lonely. Her friend Ruby, meanwhile, marries Frank - a man much changed by war. Finally there is Janet, kind-hearted and susceptible, hurt desperately by an affair with a married man. Then one night, a baby, abandoned during the bombing, is handed into Edie's care. David, the child Edie brings up, is the centre of all their lives, and when he begins to wonder who he really is, he leads Edie to a life and love she would never have dreamed of.
