Suzanne Cecile Ebel on 27 September 1916 in Sutton, Surrey, London, England, UK, of Irish mother and French father, a interior decorator and drove a Rolls-Royce. She was educated at Roman Catholic schools in England and Belgium. In London, she worked as journalist to Newspaper The Times, as public relations director, and from 1950 to 1972 to the advertising agency Young and Rubicam. She married a dentist, with whom she had a son, James, and an adopted daughter, Marigold, but the marriage faltered. On 1947, she met John Goodwin, a former lieutenant in the RNVR and later theatre director, and they had a son, Tim. They finally married in 1971, after she widowed. She died on 28 February 2008.

Suzanne published her first novel in 1963, Journey from Yesterday, that won the Romantic Novel of the Year Award by the Romantic Novelists' Association. She started signed contemporary romances under her maiden name Suzanne Ebel, and after her marriage she used her married name Suzanne Goodwin to singed historical romances, she also used the pseudonym of Cecily Shelbourne. In 1986, she won the British Travel Association Award by her Guide to London's Riverside in collaboration with Doreen Impey.

This is a romance set in England during WWII. We follow three sisters who all fall for military men. One, a pilot; one, a submarine guy; and the third sister… well, she just falls for them all.

There probably is more of the historical fiction to this than the romance. Or, since I so rarely read romances, maybe that’s just what I focused on more. I don’t even remember why I have this book, but I’ve had it a long time! Overall, I’m rating it ok. The story was fine, and I did enjoy the setting, but there were definitely some eye-rolling moments, as well as some cringe-worthy moments when it came to the various romances.… (more)
