A spellbinding novel from Sunday Times Number One bestseller Penny Vincenzi: 'Seductively readable' The Times Forbidden Places is about love and marriage, families and secrets, and about wartime and how it affects social values. It is a story of three women and one family. One is married and widowed within five years. She is free to start again. Or is she? The second has a perfect husband she thinks she loves. He becomes a grotesque parody of what he once was. Is that love real? The third becomes trapped in a nightmare marriage. Can the war free her?
