    ‘A wonderfully absorbing tale of friendship, rich in period detail’ Stylist

    With the Great War behind them, four friends are ready to live again.

    Lydia, a society beauty, has everything – wealth, status and a husband who survived the War. All she has to do now is provide an heir.

    Widowed Sarah cares for her wounded brother, certain that no one will ever replace her brave husband.

    Younger sister Beatrice finds it hard to shine, especially when there are so few men left to shine for…

    And independent Ava – who can light any room – is determined to seize the freedom of being a single woman.

    But when these four meet the irresistible war hero Sergeant Major Edgar Trent, everything changes…

    Spare Brides is a glorious novel about love, loss, change and chances from the Number One bestselling author Adele Parks.
