Book excerpt: A riveting story of love and loss set in wartime Britain from the million copy and Sunday Times bestselling author Charlotte Bingham, for fans of Louise Douglas and Dinah Jefferies. 'One of Britain's most bankable novelists.' - THE DAILY EXPRESS 'A rip-roaring combination of high romance and breathless excitement' - MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Compelling.' - WOMAN & HOME ****************************************************************** AS WAR BREAKS OUT, FOUR GIRLS WILL BE CHANGED FOREVER... DAUGHTERS OF EDEN focuses on the lives and fortunes of four very different young women at the outbreak of the Second World War. Marjorie, left at a boarding school by her emigrating mother; plain Poppy, pushed into marriage with a mean-spirited aristocrat; Kate, despised by her father, but determined to prove herself; and man-mad Lily, who turns out to be the bravest of them all. That all of them are chosen to work undercover for the espionage unit at a beautiful stately home is a surprise, not least to them. At Eden Park they meet four unusual young men - Eugene, the feckless Irishman; Robert, Kate's brother; and Scott, the undisputed favourite of the unit. Only Jack Ward, the mysterious spymaster, manages to remain aloof as he guides their destinies. They will look back on this time as having felt more alive than ever before...
