This Happiness Could Not Have Lasted

Louise Galvin

Laurence Greene was gassed at Ypres. He takes ten years to die. With her fiancé lost in France, Effie Shaw spends a decade as Laurence’s cook. They share a roof, a sweet tooth and a taste for pastoral romances, but propriety dictates that their sharing must end there. It is a surprise to Effie, then, when Laurence’s will leaves her a railway ticket and a declaration of love. The terms of his bequest require that she must visit her fiancé’s grave. But she's not prepared for what she finds there.
