Reading - The New Mrs Clifton

The New Mrs Clifton by Elizabeth Buchan




As the Second World War draws to a close, Intelligence Officer Gus Clifton surprises his sisters at their London home.  But an even greater shock is the woman he brings with him, Krista - the German wife whom he has married secretly in Berlin.

Krista is clearly devastated by her experiences at the hands of the British and their allies - all but broken by horrors she cannot share.  But Gus's sisters can only see the enemy their brother has brought under their roof.  And their friend Bella, Gus's beautiful, loyal fiancee, cannot understand what made Gus change his mind about her.

What hold does Krista have over their  honourable Gus? And how can the three women get her out of their home, their future, their England?
