This entertaining novel is full of acute and humorous observations of male and female attitudes to love and marriage. Sally aims to win but is distracted by her unsettling emotions for a soldier tortured by his experience at the Front. These two ladies form a quiet alliance, recognising that the prize isn't really worth fighting over but respecting the other's pursuit of financial security. With some encouragement from the local busybody, she makes a play for Mr Bingley, the bank manager, although she has a rival in Mrs Dalton, a widow with a young daughter to raise. When her bohemian life in Paris falls flat at the beginning of the First World War, Sally Lunton returns to the care of her guardian in Little Crampton to find a husband.
