Rosamund Caradon has been looking after her daughter JasmineThe Sleeping Beauties By: Lucy Ashe Pub date: September 10, 2024 Publisher: Union Square & Co
Rosamund Caradon has been looking after her daughter Jasmine and other evacuees at Gittisham Manor. While the evacuees are returning home, Rosamund decides to go back home to London to check on her family.
While on the train, they meet Briar Woods who inserts her way into the same carriage. Briar tells the children all about her career as a ballet dancer and they are transfixed. Rosamund is uneasy and feels she knows Briar, but can’t pinpoint where. Briar invites them to see her performance, so Rosamund feels compelled let Jasmine have this experience.
This story will explore deceit, regret, suspense, obsession and mistakes. Sometimes a small act of kindness can turn into your worst nightmare. I won’t give away the plot, but as a mother I felt every emotion as you always want to protect your children from people who are not what them seem or might do harm to them.

Jack is a wounded vet working at the Golden Hours. It’s a place which fixes watches and other timepieces. He ended up here when he left his old life behind.
Grace and Anh are two very different women from different worlds living in Long Island. A young boy who was displaced from the war is found on their streets. Each of these characters are vividly developed and their pasts have haunted them all in different ways.
I knew this novel would be heavy for me as my dad was in Vietnam. Thankful my dad came home.
The physical and mental challenges vets go through in their lives, can also take a toll on those around them can be a challenge. This novel is about longing for what could have been, loss, love, forgiveness and the strength it takes to move forward. Friends, family and your community can help if you are willing.
