The Very White Of Love:Hard Covers Have Arrived!
Welcome to the FB page for The Very White Of Love, a love story set in World War Two. The book is based on a true story, inspired by my discovery of a chocolate box full of love letters between my mother, Nancy, and her fiancé, Martin Preston, the nephew of the poet Robert Graves. I spent years piecing together the fictional narrative using these genuine letters to write what I hope is a timeless love story. After a whirlwind romance, Martin is sent to the battlefields of France in 1939, telling Nancy their love will keep them safe. Then one day, his letters stop. Nancy will do anything to find him, but will she unravel the mystery of his disappearance in time?

Press Release: The Very White Of Love
As I was sorting through my mother’s possessions after her death in 2005, I found a battered, cardboard chocolate box at the bottom of her wardrobe. It was decorated with red roses and tied with a piece of red ribbon. Inside, I found bundles of faded love letters, tightly bound with string and fastened with tiny knots.These tear-stained letters inspired my novel The Very White Of Love.
