Описание книги

A Globe and Mail Bestseller! Clara Durling, a British widow of the First World War, arrives in Canada as the new superintendent of the Lethbridge Hospital just as wounded soldiers stream home. Lily Parsons is a young, widowed schoolteacher from Nova Scotia who ends up in the same city, managing a brothel called The Last Post. Set against the backdrop of love, union organizers, amorous bachelors, gamblers, drinkers, and prostitutes, the lives of these two women unexpectedly intertwine when Clara, in the heat of local politics and responding to the highest incidence of venereal disease in the province, establishes the first venereal disease clinic in the province, with Lily’s help. In this sprawling saga, Lily and Clara must confront the city’s conservative thinkers to bring help and compassion to wounded veterans.

In memory of my grandmother and mother,

When they arrived home, Mrs. Drake had prepared a modest goodbye tea. “This was the best I could manage,” she said. “But we still have some of the cake.”

After tea, Billy dragged Clara outside to show her his rose garden. She was always touched that he shared her love of flowers. She had bought him an expensive set of children’s gardening tools, which he used eagerly to tend his roses. “One day I shall own a greenhouse,” he said as he marched her around the outside of the house. The garden was on the west side, next to the farmer’s field. The sun was slipping rapidly below the horizon.
