Suzanne Goodwin's novels, with their blend of intriguing period atmosphere and steamy romantic flair, have long attracted a devoted readership. Now, in A Change of Season, Goodwin turns to the storied backdrop of Stratford-on-Avon, but in a more modern setting: war-torn England in 1948.
Returning from the exotic East in that year, Lisa and her brother Charles find, amidst the shifting theatrical seasons and thespian hustle of the town, another stage: their own lives, whereon is played a tumultuous drama of powerful and passionate loves, of betrayal, philandery, and proud survival.
Goodwin has been praised for the refreshing brio she brings to historical fiction, and A Change of Season carries the unmistakable stamp of classic Suzanne Goodwin—it is an energetic, boldly written novel of honor and treachery during a time of upheaval and transformation.
